Set Up a Shared USB Disk
The AirPort Extreme and the Time Capsule both add an interesting
option to a network: they can share disks across a network without
those disks being attached to a computer. Both models can accept one
or more external drives plugged in via USB or via a USB hub; the Time
Capsule also includes a non-removable internal drive.
Either model can share drives over a network with both the standard
Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) format, the same format used with
Personal File Sharing and OS X Server share files, and Samba,
a network file-sharing service compatible with Mac OS X, Windows,
and Linux.
Attached hard drives can be accessed over the Internet via AFP
using Back to My Mac, too (see Access a Base Station via iCloud).
In this chapter, I cover a handful of procedures for using the Time
Capsule and the
Extreme to share disks:
• Read Prepare Your Drive, next, to find out about formatting and
physically attaching drives.
• Work with Time Machine covers setting up Time Machine backups
as well as how to make a backup archive
of a Time Capsule disk or
to erase the disk.
• Grant Access and Gain Access look at how users on the network can
best access the disks.
Warning! You can’t share volumes via either only AFP or only
Samba; you must share through both.
