In $SPECSIZE, enter the volume size for the sparse bundle. Here, the size is set to 200g. In
$VOLUMENAME, enter the volume name TimeMachine. For $COMPUTERNAME_MACADDRESS, enter the
computer name and MAC address: Coffee-Bean_001f5bed6c7a. Click [Enter] to start creating.
The sparse bundle file will be in your Home folder.
19.5.3 Mounting the Sparse Bundle to the NSA
1 After the sparse bundle file is created on the desktop or Home folder, copy the file to share01 of
the NSA.
2 Open share01 on your NSA. There should be a sparse bundle folder. This is the place where all
your backup files from Time Machine will be. Remove the local sparse bundle file on your computer
and the hidden file ._Coffee-Bean_001f5bed6c7a.sparsebundle in share01.
sudo hdiutil create -size $SPECSIZE -type SPARSEBUNDLE -
nospotlight -volname $VOLUMENAME -fs "Case-sensitive Journaled
