On your Mac open System Preferences -> TimeMachine -> Add Backup-Volume.Assuming you're on OMV4 create a new AFP share with appropriate permissions (admin and user read/write), enable the TimeMachine checkbox.Create a new OMV user called whatever with a password (that's always the first step you need to do on an OMV install anyway, saves you so much troubles if you do NOT skip this step).TimeMachine (on OMV4 using Netatalk/AFP, later with OMV5 using Samba/CIFS) My key question is really about handling incremental backups from my Mac to the NAS Once I get everything working locally, the plan is to move the data backup NAS offsite. I think there are issues with hard links when these are backed up to a NAS. My key question is really about handling incremental backups from my Mac to the NAS. I am not using Time Machine on my Mac as I have had trouble with backing up time machine to the NAS (permissions, locked files etc) use rsync on backup NAS to copy/sync data from primary NAS to the backup NAS (weekly) - as a redundant copy. use rsync on primary NAS to copy/sync data from Mac to the NAS (daily)ģ. backup important stuff from my mac (iPhoto library iTunes, Docs etc) from the SSD to the 2TB internal storage on the same Mac (daily) - using a backup app called Get Backup Pro.Ģ. 2TB storage (1 disk using btrfs) - for redundancyġ. 3TB storage (2 disks as single drive using btrfs) thanks for instruction on how to set this up

has internal SSD (macOS - APFS) + 2TB internal storage (DATA - Mac OS extended) I think I have most of the config setup - just need some help with the strategy/approach. I am trying to setup a simple local backup strategy for my home network/config and wanted to get some tips and ideas.
