Backing up and Restoring Your Content

Backing up to and Restoring from Your ix2 Network Storage

Backing up Macs with Time Machine

You can use Time Machine to back up a Mac client computer to the ix2 network storage device.

Follow the instructions below to set up Time Machine backups to your ix2:

1.Connect your Mac to your ix2 using Apple File Protocol (AFP). You can do this using LenovoEMC Storage Manager for Mac or Bonjour.

2.Mount the Backup Share from the ix2 network device.

If you want to create a new Share for Time Machine backups, you can do so using the ix2 Management Console. Mount the Share you want to use before proceeding to the next step.

3.Select System Preferences... from the Apple Menu.

4.Select Time Machine (listed under System).

5.Click ON to enable Time Machine.

6.From the list of available drives, choose the desired Share on your ix2, then click Use for Backup.

7.Time Machine will automatically create the sparsebundle image under the selected Share and begin backing up your computer to your network storage device. After the initial backup, Time Machine backs up files every hour.

Time Machine uses a single destination drive for backups. If you have previously set up another drive for Time Machine backups and want to change to use the ix2 network device, click Select Disk, then choose the desired Share on your ix2.

Copy Jobs Overview

You can back up content to and from your ix2 Network Storage using the Copy Jobs feature. Copy Jobs copies files from one storage device to another, either by a set schedule or immediately by the user. An example of a Copy Job scenario is if you keep pictures from your digital camera on a separate USB drive, but you also want to maintain a backup of these pictures on your ix2. Using Copy Jobs, you can create a task that copies your photos on the USB drive to a Share on your ix2, and you can set that task to a schedule so the images automatically copy at a specific time. This ensures that your photos are always safely backed up to your ix2 in the event your USB device ever fails or is lost.
