How to Connect ALLNET NAS with Mac Time Machine
With Mac Time Machine support, users are able to automatically backup their entire Mac,
including photos, movies, music, documents and applications, and save them on ALLNET NAS
servers. When ever the need arises, users can simply go back in time and recover their files
quickly and effortlessly.
Time Machine is a smart backup application that not only enables users to restore their Macs
to what it looked like in the past, but it also allows users to continue working with their Macs
while all backup tasks take place in the background. One of the main advantages of utilizing a
ALLNET NAS as backup storage compared to other external HDDs or storage units is that the
user's backup files will be safeguarded with ALLNET advanced RAID technology. Furthermore,
connecting Mac Time Machine with a ALLNET NAS server is the simplest thing ever; within a
few clicks of a mouse, users will be ready to go.
Applicable Models: ALL60300, ALL6400PRO, ALL60400, ALL60600, ALL60800 ,
ALL6800, ALL6900 and ALL60700.
