Using A Mac mini For A Remote Time Machine

ImageA Mac mini works great as a Remote Time Machine. You just need to:

  • Enable File Sharing
  • Give each user their own login for security.
  • Plug in an external hard drive for plenty of space

After that, the user will just need to connect to the drive using afp://000.000.000.000 (ip address) and they can backup using Time Machine.

Do keep in mind that setup like this works, but does not have an encrypted transmission of data.
