Time Machine Backup

The Time Machine Backup app configures TNAS as a Time Machine server, allowing Mac OS users to back up their data to TNAS. This setup enables easy retrieval of lost files or restoration to previous data states.

  1. Navigate to TOS Desktop > Backup Management > Time Machine Backup.
  2. Check the box labeled "Enable Time Machine Backup."
  3. Set the "Authorized Directory."
  4. Click "Apply" to enable Time Machine Backup. Mac OS users can now designate TNAS as a backup disk.

  1. Time Machine Default Setting: Time Machine is disabled by default in factory settings.
