Hi;
I have 2 x Macs, a couple of PC's and an Apple TV amongst other things.
I have just successfully set up a dataset for Time Machine and have backed up one of my Macs.
I don't think I created the dataset at the correct level as it is visible from my CIFS share / dataset that holds all my other data (I think I need to re-organize anyway to separate my Videos / Music etc onto separate datasets for each)?
FYI I have the following datasets:
/mnt/FreeNAS
/mnt/FreeNAS/NAS_Storage
/mnt/FreeNAS/NAS_Storage/Time_Machine_Macbook
I have the following shares:
AFP - Share Name is - TM_Backup_Mackbook, path is - /mnt/FreeNAS/NAS_Storage/Time_Machine_Macbook, Allow List is - TM_Backup1
CIFS - Share name is - FreeNAS, path is /mnt/FreeNAS/NAS_Storage, Check Boxes are - Browsable to Network Clients, Inherit Permissions, Allow Guest Access.
I have one user setup with the Home Directory /mnt/FreeNAS/NAS_Storage and one user with the Home Directory /mnt/FreeNAS/NAS_Storage/Time_Machine_Macbook
Questions:
1. Do I need a separate dataset for each Time Machine Backcup for each Mac?
2. Do I need a separate user for each Time Machine Dataset or can I use one for both?
3. The dataset that I created for the Time Machine Backup is visible in the CIFS share that I already had, is it because I created it as a subset of /mnt/FreeNAS/NAS_Storage and should I create a new one / two as a subset of /mnt/FreeNAS
Thanks in advance
