System Backup
Time Machine
Time Machine is a backup program included with Mac OS X 10.5 and later version. It can back up to
your LinkStation if you configure the LinkStation as follows:
Notes:
• Not all LinkStations support Time Machine. Check the LinkStation Function List on page 35 to see
if your LinkStation supports Time Machine.
• LinkStations using version 1.43 or earlier firmware created an image file during Time Machine
setup. Newer versions of the firmware don’t require this. For best results, update your LinkStation
to the latest firmware. Updated firmware can be downloaded from www.buffalotech.com.
• If your LinkStation with version 1.43 or earlier firmware is already configured to work with Time
Machine, the firmware can still be updated to the latest version.
