The other disks are possible private Time Machine disks.
10. Click the Use Disk button.
11. When prompted, in the Name and Password fields, enter ReadyNAS or the shared
Time Machine user name and password that you created in step 4 on page 301.
12. Click the Connect button.
Time Machine begins the backup, which can take several minutes to start.
Increase Your Shared Time Machine Backup Capacity
The first time you run a Time Machine backup on your Mac, a sparse bundle (a Mac OS
file system directory type) is created on your ReadyNAS to store the backup data. The
maximum size of the sparse bundle is the size that you specify when you enable Time
Machine on your ReadyNAS. (See Back Up Your Mac Using Time Machine on page 300.)
After you run Time Machine for the first time, the size of the sparse bundle that stores
your Mac backup data is fixed. If you want to increase the size of the sparse bundle, you
must delete the sparse bundle and create a new Time Machine backup.
To increase the capacity of the Time Machine backup on your ReadyNAS:
1. Ensure that the AFP file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see Configure Global Settings for File-Sharing Protocols on
page 206.
2. In Finder, select Go > Connect to Server.
The Connect to Server dialog box displays.
3. Enter the following command in the Server Address field:
afp://<hostname>
<hostname> is the name that you assigned to your ReadyNAS system or the default
host name if you did not change it.
Note: If you cannot access the ReadyNAS using its host name, try entering
afp://<ReadyNAS IP address> instead. <ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of
the ReadyNAS.
4. Click the Connect button.
You are prompted to log in to your ReadyNAS system.
5. In the Name field, enter ReadyNAS.
