Use Time Machine to Back Up Onto a USB Hard Disk

(HDD) that is connected to one of the router’s USB ports.
To back up your Mac onto a USB hard disk drive:
1. Prepare your USB device with a compatible format and partitions.
For more information, see Set Up a USB Hard Drive on a Mac on page 123.
2. If you plan to back up a large amount of data, see Prepare to Back Up a Large Amount

on your local area network (LAN).
