How-to: Setup multi-Mac backup shares with quotas. Easy.
Over the last couple years, I've been backing up each of my Macs to the default ReadyNAS Time Machine share. It's been OK, aside from having to hack my sparse bundles to stop them from increasing in s...
Hey guys,
So far this solution is working great. I have 3 staff members backing up to their home shares - all running Mountain Lion.
I have a LOT of people to put on the readyNAS, so I decided to write up an AppleScript that automatically connects to the home share, adds the .AppleVolumes and .com.apple.timemachined.supported files to the home share (and writes the appropriate username into .AppleVolumes), then disconnects. If anybody would like this, please send me a PM or something.
However a weird problem has come up..
I can no longer add any files to the home share root directory, on ANY user. In fact, for one user, their home share is no longer listed and only the "readyNAS" share is. If I try to add a file, I am asked to enter my laptop's user password, and then it tells me I don't have permission to read the contents. However, if I create a folder, it works, and then I can drag files into that folder. Just not the root directory.
Thoughts?
