<p><strong><a href="http://www.readynas.com/?p=253">Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS</a></strong></p> Finally, a decent set of instructions on using a ReadyNAS with Time Machine. The trick is to create a local sparse disk image with a magic name (based on hostname and eth0 MAC address), then move it to the NAS. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/backups">backups</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/macos">macos</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/readynas">readynas</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/timemachine">timemachine</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.xiotios.com/itimemachine.html">iTimeMachine</a></strong></p> Enables Time Machine to see network drives (a ReadyNAS NV+ for example). There’s also a defaults setting but it didn’t seem to work; this did. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/backups">backups</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/itimemachine">itimemachine</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/mac">mac</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/macos">macos</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/readynas">readynas</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/timemachine">timemachine</a></p>
