I’m really looking into building a NAS for my Mac. I got the 256gb MacBook Air and currently back up the machine using a nvme drive over type c but having to plug it in to access video files and backup every couple days is not ideal. With how cheap physical storage is now, a NAS seems like a good solution. Does anyone have a NAS at home and can share the software and hardware needed to make it run smoothly?
It was pretty easy to set up. There was a time machine setting somewhere that makes it so the Mac will just see it as a viable backup location.
Having everyone’s TM on the NAS would make it easy to set up some sort of offsite mirror as well.
I just googled Synology Time Machine setup or something and there were a ton of guides.
