4. Select the user name, adjust the capacity as necessary, and click the Add button.
The necessary reserved capacity depends on how the Time Machine is used, but typically it is greater
than the capacity of the Mac to allow for a complete backup plus changes.
The first time you run Time Machine on your Mac, a sparse bundle is created on
your ReadyNAS to store the backup data.The maximum size of the sparse bundle
Note:
is the size that you specify in the Capacity field. Make sure that you allocate more
space than is needed so that the sparse bundle can accommodate additional data
later.
If you want to increase the size of the sparse bundle, you must delete the sparse
bundle and create a new Time Machine backup. (See Increase Your Time Machine
Backup Capacity on page 231.) After you run Time Machine for the first time, simply
changing the number in the Capacity field does not increase the size of the sparse
bundle.
