Mac Backups

This section of the General screen enables or disables Time Machine backups of Mac
computers.

To configure backup settings:

1. In the Mac Backups area, click the toggle button

to enable Time Machine backups if

not previously enabled.

2. Click the Configure link to display the Time Machine Settings dialog

3. From the Select a Share drop-down list, select a share you’d like to use to backup your

Mac data.

4. Click Save.

Web Access Timeout

Automatically logs you out of the system after a designated
amount of time.

From the Web Access Timeout drop-down menu, select an

amount of time you’d like to use for your system timeout. The
system updates automatically.

Important: You must set a password for your Administrator account in order to

restore your Time Machine backups.

Important: Once your Time Machine begins to back up your files to a selected

share, we recommend that you continue to back up to that share.
Switching shares generates a new backup file which will not contain
your previously saved information.
