Backing up Macs with Time Machine
You can use Time Machine to back up a Mac client computer to the px12-400r network storage device.
Follow the instructions below to set up Time Machine backups to your px12-400r:
1. Connect your Mac to your px12-400r using Apple File Protocol (AFP). You can do this using
LenovoEMC Storage Manager for Mac or Bonjour.
2. Mount the Backup Share from the px12-400r network device.
If you want to create a new Share for Time Machine backups, you can do so using the px12-400r
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 px12-400r, 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 px12-400r network device, click
Select Disk, then choose the desired Share on your px12-400r.
Copy Jobs Overview
You can back up content to and from your px12-400r Network Storage using the Copy Jobs feature. Copy
Jobs copies files from one storage device to another, either by a set schedule or immediately by the user.
An example of a Copy Job scenario is if you keep pictures from your digital camera on a separate USB
drive, but you also want to maintain a backup of these pictures on your px12-400r. Using Copy Jobs, you
can create a task that copies your photos on the USB drive to a Share on your px12-400r, and you can set
that task to a schedule so the images automatically copy at a specific time. This ensures that your photos
are always safely backed up to your px12-400r in the event your USB device ever fails or is lost.
