How-to: Setup multi-Mac backup shares with quotas. Easy.

Morning all,

I previously used the instructions here to set up separate Time Machine backups for myself and g/f's macbooks. Then she updated her OS from Lion to Mountain Lion and her new OS was unable to see the NAS and I never got around to nor had the time to troubleshoot it; in the meantime, I continued successfully backing up with my macbook using Lion. Fast forward to present day and we've upgraded both our macbooks and the OS on each machine to Mavericks (10.9.1) and I need to get us both backing up to the NAS using Time Machine.

I have updated the Firmware on the NAS to RAIDiator 4.2.25, my questions are:

• are the instructions in this thread to set up multi-Mac backup shares still applicable when using Mavericks?


• although not essential, can I 'take over' the Time Machine backups that are on the NAS from my previous macbook and continue using the same share and Time Machine configuration with my present macbook?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
