Use Time Machine to Back Up Onto a Storage Device
You can use Time Machine to back up your Mac computers onto a USB hard disk drive (HDD) that is
connected to one of the router’s USB ports or an eSATA storage device that is connected to the router's
eSATA port.
To back up your Mac onto a USB hard drive:
1. Prepare your USB HDD or eSATA storage device with a compatible format and partitions.
For more information, see Set Up a USB Hard Drive on a Mac on page 69.
2. If you plan to back up a large amount of data, see Prepare to Back Up a Large Amount of Data on
page 70.
3. Connect your USB HDD or eSATA storage device to the appropriate port on the router.
If your USB HDD or eSATA storage device uses a power supply, you must use it
when you connect the USB HDD or eSATA storage device to the router.
Note
When you connect the USB HDD or eSATA storage device to the router, it might take up to two minutes
before it is ready for sharing. By default, the USB HDD or eSATA storage device is available to all
computers on your local area network (LAN).
