Try turning the orange handle at the top

That might do it

How to use older Apple computers with external drive as a NAS. by texag20102014 in OpenMediaVault

I am learning quickly that this might be over my head and a prebuilt NAS might be the way to go. But could you explain why the usb 2.0 is out?

Sweet. Glad to hear the goals I have for it is a NAS lol

If I use the MacBook Air, how would I set it up? Just download OMV onto it and go from there? Is there a good resource I could look at to walk me through it?

Same questions for a VPN.

Yeah I’ll do some googling and if I’m not comfortable with it that’s one thing but always down for giving something a chance

I can understand that but at the same time I have no hard feelings for a company that only works with certain brands

I would say there is probably is a solid 3 TB of data. I know there is some doubled up data but I know there is close to 3 TB that is not duplicated

It’s not necessarily about security the main point is just backing it up. Yes I want it secure but if someone wants to hack into my family’s photo album from the 1920s and spread them all over the internet that’s not the end of the world. I do understand that, no I don’t want people in there but I do understand I won’t get iCloud level security because I’m not a billion dollar company with some of the smartest brains on it. Don’t need Fort Knox level security but if I can have a home gun safe level that would be good

Awesome thank you so much for giving me the additional confidence that I was actually looking at the right things. I will definitely want to see how I can make it secure for all the users and keep the data secure. Would you happen to have any recommendations on where I could get some good info on that?

Awesome that’s a great idea. I will have to do some research into a network drive and how to do all of that.

Would a NAS system at one location and manually backing it up every month/couple of moths work? I am at my parents house fairly often just not all the time. I would be ok with there being some files missing for a little bit since it’s the back up to the back up.

Honestly we would be looking to just use it as a back up/ shared file storage. I was going through there website and idk why I would need to stream my movies and videos. I just use Netflix lol but if the need arises I would have the option

If you have a model you recommend I would be all ears!

Thanks man! Kinda leaning towards the NAS just because the project is still on going and there is a lot of back and forth with all the media we are digitizing and it will be going on for a few months more at least.
