how to set up TM to external HD with Airport Extreme Base Station?
I need to set up TM on my MBA (3,1/10.9.5) so that it will backup to a 250 GB external HD via my Airport Extreme Base Station.
Do I plug the external HD to Airport? If so, need some other plug.
If I plug external HD to my iMac, it doesn’t appear when try to set up TM on MBA.
Background: The external HD used to backup my iMac, so I think it is Mac OS extended. then I switched and backed up both MBA and iMac to LaCie-2big-NAS. Worked fine for long time, but then MBA started getting error messages. Others said that problem was backing up to a third-party NAS with Time Machine. So, I foolishly stopped backing up MBA.
But now question is how do I set up it. Thanks.
OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), iMac (10.9.5) and MBA (10.9.5)
