4.2 Create a volume and copy files using Windows
Explorer
After you find and log into the NAS, you must create a volume to start using the NAS. You can then use
Windows Explorer to copy files from your computer to the NAS.
Creating a volume formats the hard disk and deletes all data in the
process. Make sure you have a backup of any existing data in the hard
disk before installing it in the NAS.

4.3 Enable Time Machine on the NAS and your Mac
computer
Time Machine is a backup system provided by Mac OS X. It automatically backs up everything on your
Mac, including pictures, music, videos, documents, applications, and settings. This tutorial helps you to
enable Time Machine in OS X to use your NAS as a backup volume.
Use the Backup Planner > Time Machine screen (Section 16.5 on page 290) to turn Time Machine
support on or off, and designate a share for Time Machine backups.
