How do I increase the capacity of the Time Machine backup on my RN424 storage system?

As of my last update in September 2021, the RN424 storage system is a Netgear ReadyNAS model, which is integrated with Time Machine for Mac backups. To increase the capacity of the Time Machine backup on your RN424 storage system, you will need to follow these general steps:

1. Add more storage to your RN424: If you want to increase the backup capacity, you'll need to add more storage drives to your ReadyNAS system. Depending on your RN424 model, it may support multiple drive bays, allowing you to expand the storage capacity by adding additional hard drives.

2. Set up the new drives: Install the new drives into the available drive bays of your RN424, and then follow the manufacturer's instructions to set up the drives. This typically involves configuring the new drives through the ReadyNAS web interface.

3. Expand the storage pool: Once the new drives are installed and recognized by the ReadyNAS system, you'll need to expand the storage pool to include the newly added drives. This will increase the overall storage capacity of your ReadyNAS.
