Backing up Macs with Time Machine
You can use Time Machine to back up a Mac client computer to the px2-300d network storage device.
Follow the instructions below to set up Time Machine backups to your px2-300d:
1. Connect your Mac to your px2-300d using Apple File Protocol (AFP). You can do this using
LenovoEMC Storage Manager for Mac or Bonjour.
2. Mount the Backup Share from the px2-300d network device.
If you want to create a new Share for Time Machine backups, you can do so using the px2-300d
Management Console. Mount the Share you want to use before proceeding to the next step.
3. Select System Preferences... from the Apple Menu.
4. Select Time Machine (listed under System).
5. Click ON to enable Time Machine.
6. From the list of available drives, choose the desired Share on your px2-300d, then click Use for
Backup.
7. Time Machine will automatically create the sparsebundle image under the selected Share and
begin backing up your computer to your network storage device. After the initial backup, Time
Machine backs up files every hour.
Time Machine uses a single destination drive for backups. If you have previously set up another
drive for Time Machine backups and want to change to use the px2-300d network device, click
Select Disk, then choose the desired Share on your px2-300d.
One-touch Transferring of Content from a USB Device
One touch transfer of content is created on the QuikTransfer page. On the QuikTransfer page, you can set
the default destination Share for any automatically created QuikTransfer Copy Jobs.

300d Network Storageto the destination Share when the QuikTransfer button is pressed.

just some of the folders under a Share.
