How can I limit space taken by Time Machine BU files on my MyCloud Ex2Ultra? The slider in the MacBU tab moves, I press ‘save’ but it resets to max when I return to it. In any case, that control only works - if it works at all - on the gross space taken by all BUs. Surely it is fundamental to the concept of a NAS that each user’s space - including that for BU - should be controlled, otherwise the TM BUs will consume the whole drive.
I asked WD Support this question but received a very unhelpful shrug from what seemed to be a non-technician.
I’m already using MC5 btw.
Hi @Greigor,
Please ensure the share is set to the default TimeMachine Backup share.
And also ensure the Time Machine Backup Maximum Size is set to the default of 100% for the 1st backup and high enough for subsequent backups.
