ReadyNAS Time Machine Utilization Stats
As a Mac user one of my reasons for buying the ReadyNAS 422 was to get a higher performance Time Machine server. Clicking the Time Machine icon button brings up a dialog for setting up Shared or Priv...
If you're wanting to see the space used by the backups for an individual Mac then using private Time Machine with a separate user for each machine would be the way to go.
If you go into the System Preferences for Time Machine on your Mac you should see how much space has been used and how much space is available.
That's true - but on a Shared Time Machine there may be multiple machines backing up to the same Sparse Bundle. Being able to see utilization information on the NAS is preferable to going around to each "client" to get the information and then adding the numbers.
