Time Machine Backups
In this article we'll walk through how to setup time machine backups using the on site NAS (network attached storage).
NAS Access
You should have received an email when your account was setup on the NAS that gives credentials to access the NAS, if you do not have access to that anymore than let Michael know and he can send them again.
Once setup, this should mount the folders that you have access to automatically when your computer is attached to the network and you have the unifi identity app installed.
Manually Connecting to NAS
You can also manually mount NAS folders by using the Finder application if the
unifi identity application is not working for you.
- Open the Finder application
- Choose connect to server from
Go -> Connect to server...(or type ⌘K) - In the server address field type:
smb://192.168.10.105 - Enter your credentials to login to the server (attain username and password from Michael)
- Choose the
Personal-Drivefolder
Time Machine
After you are connected to the NAS you can then setup time machine backups for your computer.
The time machine settings are found in the
System Settings -> General -> Time Machine section of your system settings
application.
- Click the plus icon to add a new time machine backup location.
- Select the drive named
Personal-Drive
Note: Any of the other drives that appear will not work, the drive that you select must be the Personal-Drive.
You should end up with something that looks similar to the image below.
