[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1840005, member: 131855"] There are a number of NAS devices that work with Time Machine. Most, and perhaps all, of them give you the opportunity to control how much space Time Machine uses so it doesn't gobble up all the space on your NAS. This is done by creating what is commonly called a "share" and then directing Time Machine to use the share as its destination for the backup. Here's [URL="https://nascompares.com/2019/04/08/how-to-back-up-your-mac-to-synology-nas-with-time-machine/"]one example[/URL] of how it's done. This company is not the only one making NAS devices that work with Time Machine. The process will be very similar for other NAS devices from other vendors. It may not be 100% necessary but I would look for one that supports AFP (Apple File Protocol). Time Machine works well with that protocol. [/QUOTE]
