At this point… you should be able to open the Time Machine settings in System Preferences and use Select Disk… to pick your new Time Machine backup drive.Sudo defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/ MaxSize 102400 The command below will put a 100GB limit. Now, on your Mac, before doing anything else, might be smart to put a limit on your backup.Run sudo chmod 777 /media/path/to/backups.Run sudo chown nobody:nogroup /media/path/to/backups.Create a directory to act as the Time Machine:.

So you will need to run a new backup with carrying the limits on the new plist to the server.īelow are the steps to successfully be able to config a TimeMachine backup server with limits on your backups so you don’t run out of storage 😉. So, I found a single command to limit the backups, but what I found was that if the plist has been already copied (meaning a backup was already ran), the new limits won’t be recognized. Not until recently that was not an option until I ran into a blog post that produced an step by step configuration to run successfully, but what I did find out was that my server was getting full and TimeMachine did not do a good enough job deleting old backups.
Recently I wanted to be able to backup my Mac via TimeMachine, but unfortunately I did not have a large enough HDD to back up, so I’ve decided to backup to one of my servers.
