Hello all,

The Might Mac mini episode – seems I am missing something obvious. Would like to set things up so that my 2012 Mini back’s-up my wife’s MBA, and have it as a separate TM backup on the DAS plugged into the Mini.

My understanding from the episode, was that everything I needed was to be found in /Preferences/Sharing? I’ve looked around, but without success?

Anyone have this working, who can point me in the right direction?

I was having trouble getting my MacBook Pro to consistently mount the backup directory on my iMac when I arrived in the office. I found this app, which has worked like a charm:
