Since we want an unattended and automatic backup solution, it is important to implemented the external drive to be auto mounted when the system boots.

In my case, the full command would be: mkfs.btrfs -L NAS /dev/sda1
Let’s use BTRFS as file system, a modern and fault tolerant option ( ). When you have your external drive identified, it is time to format it. Tells you what is the device that matches that external drive. Once plugged in, first thing to do is to identify your drive on Linux. To have the disk ready, some very important steps must be followed: You are not gonna need USB 3, fast copies could not be accomplished. Since Time Machine is not a drive clone service, port speed is not so important. To have enough space for backups, an external drive is mandatory. Raspberry Pi uses as its internal drive, a micro SD card. From all the options, I would recommend XFCE desktop as the lightest. A different edition could be chosen if a desktop is needed but take under consideration that a Rasberry Pi is a hardware limited computer. Using Rasberry Pi Imager, Go to Choose OS button, then Manjaro ARM Linux and select the Manjaro ARM Minimal since this is going to be a server. Arch-based up-to-date rolling release brings all that is needed. This is done by Raspberry Pi Imagerįor this tutorial, Manjaro is a very good option.

Also, it is possible to install other Linux distros in a very easy way. It comes pre-installed with Raspberry OS – Linux flavored OS. Rasberry Pi is by far, a convenient and functional computer. Fortunately, there is a funny and cheaper solution. You could buy a NAS drive but be aware that you need to invest quite some money. What happens if you forget to plug the drive or lose it? What happens if more than one mac user needs to use Time Machine? Every user would need an external drive, turning this into an unpractical routine. An external drive is mandatory, but most important is to have the discipline to plug it at least every week.
Setting up Time Machine is very easy and straight forward.

Mac users, although protected by their operating system itself, are given the option to use Time Machine as an offline out of the box backup alternative. However, it is pertinent to have an offline backup when possible. In last years, cloud services allow us to store many, if not all our important data. We, as end users, have a lot and very important information to protect. This good practice should be a routine for both enterprises and people. When all policies and controls fail, systems crash, and information is taken or hijacked it is time to restore our backups. Backups are a very important part of InfoSec.
