Best simple nas for mac password#

Take care if you plan to do a raw image restore from a CCC image on the NAS - speed is not great compared to a local HDD or SSD (I do not use SSD for backups) over USB 3 / Thunderbolt etc. I've been caught out so this time I've left the warning message on. I've only had one issue with it in three years of heavy use (I think that was a quirk with Spotlight) - just do you formatting on the Pi - it works on the Mac but partitioning and checking are not great compared to the default file systems in diskutil.ĬCC is perfectly happy to use Ext4 drives but you have to get used to the difference between a case sensitive Pi disk and the default case-insensitive Mac disks.

If you need good EXT support on the Mac then bite the bullet and buy the Paragon extfs support package. If you are looking for longer term use (rather than buying a dedicated NAS) then use SAMBA for long term stability - you do not need to set a back dated version for any share as Apple is up to date on CIFS support! afpfs-ng will not find any shares on the Mac after last weeks update) and removed support for this in Files from the iPad a couple of versions ago.ĭo not use any user space filing system for disk support - reliability and speed goes way down so stick to a version of Ext for the disks. Time Machine support but Apple is slowly breaking AFP (e.g. Netatalk on the Pi works fine to date (I'm on an Intel Mac running 10.15 Catalina) for AFP shares inc.

In CCC make this the target and supply the password in the task - allow CCC to keep the password.

Set it's size to the max you expect to use and when done copy the file to the NAS Set the destination of the file to the desktop NOT the NAS (faster to make locally and move rather than make on the remote disk) Use diskutil to create an encrypted image file that's a sparse disk image. Note you cannot encrypt a NAS based time machine backup or a CCC backup without a little bit of trickery!
