Set Up airport to back up several computers in the small office

I'll put up a new Airport Extreme. I want 4-5 computers in a small office in each have separate backups only the device. How to configure?

We need to get some clarification please, in order to provide the right answers.

I'll put up a new Airport Extreme

The AirPort Extreme is a router only. You connect a USB hard drive to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme, if you want to backup the disk attached to the AirPort Extreme.

If you really wanted to say that you have an Airport Time Capsule... peripheral that is actually an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive that could be used for backup purposes.

What device you ask here... an AirPort Extreme... or... an Airport Time Capsule?

I want 4-5 computers in a small office in each have separate backups don't unit

All of these computers must be Mac if you want each of them to properly back up using Apple's Time Machine backup applications.  Is this the case?

One more comment... While your plan may be OK for a very small office... the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule are designed mainly for light home use... not professional use. Thus, it would be a good idea to have a backup plan additional for each computer.  In other words, you don't want to rely on a simple backup solution if Macs that will be backed up data are valuable to you.

For example, say you use a Time Capsule to back up each of the Mac at the office.  If the time Capsule has a serious problem, you'll probably lose all backups of all Macs at the office.

In this regard, the faster and more reliable backup type would be to have a hard drive connected directly to each Macs at the office... then you might have a double backup system.  Mac could automatically back up to a Time Capsule for example, and also on the hard drive that is connected directly on the Mac.

Here the essential to have a solid plan to backup... ask yourself what would happen if the drive you use for backups at this point failed. Because it goes... you don't know when.

  • our airport time capsule connects to computers and the internet, but does not record on the usefulness of the airport as being there - is it dying or is their a reset?

    Our computers connect via wifi to a capsule of time to the airport and to the internet, but can't find the time capsule, nor can its hard drive. Y at - it a reset, we can try or he dies. It's only a couple of months.

    Turn about your Airport Extreme for 15 seconds and then power back on. As soon as you see the green light, you should be able to see him for a minute or two in the Airport utility. In the affirmative, and see if you have Back to My Mac active. If so, disable it by removing all the e-mail addresses of the back section of my Mac. Then update your Airport Extreme. Work quickly.

    Many have started having this problem within the last week, probably because Apple changed something in its servers CCMM. A real difficulty would come from Apple, but it should work if you currently have active CCMM.

  • How can I install El Capitan on several computers at the same time?

    I live in Spain, where I have a few computers to service. The internet lines here are slow and unstable, so it is difficult to get all of the updates in without entering the trail other activities.

    I wonder if it is possible to download El Capitan on a single computer and then distribute to others, after which I can update at the same time am.

    Would this be possible?

    According to the license agreement, the license of the OS is for you only, but you can install on any computer YOU own and control. So if download you it and then reject the Setup program before you start, you can find it in your Applications folder from where you can copy it somewhere safe to use on another computer that you own.

    Because the download is linked to your Apple ID, use it on another computer does not work as it should download it using their own Apple ID or they will never be able to reinstall or update that the used ID does not correspond to their.

    And, since you said you 'service' of computers, you will need to look at another type of license - you will need to contact Apple. The retail license is nothing for you.

  • How to set up AirPort Express as a receiver only?

    My Wi - Fi Terminal is a tower of ac AirPort Extreme. I use my old AirPort Express only n to provide the Internet connection for my TV. All he needs to do is to receive the signal Wi - Fi base station.

    When I check the Wi - Fi traffic, however, it seems that the AirPort Express is also a signal. What makes a 'bridge', I think that the term. It is all set with a password, is not a security problem. It's just a problem of congestion network, which is quite a significant potential problem living in a high-rise building.

    I apologize in advance, but my lock of knowledge and understanding of terminology related to all things 'network '. How can I configure the AirPort Express Terminal to it only "receives" the Wi - Fi signal and does not broadcast the ' ' anything?

    Be gentle

    Thank you

    [This is a restatement of the question asked by another user here How to stop my broadcasting extreme airport ]

    Your question is quite clear to me. You do not want the Express to broadcast anything, but it should provide an internet connection for the TV? This is not possible: internet connections are always a two-way binding. Probably the best solution would be to use the Express in client mode. Follow these instructions: AirPort Express: how to join an existing client mode - Apple Support Wi - Fi network

    I used a time capsule in my house.  Now, I have another network put in place and would like to set my time for back ups and NOT as a WiFi capsule

    If it is possible to turn off the WiFi on the Time Capsule, which only leaves you with the option to back up your Mac (s) using a wired Ethernet cable connection between the Mac (s) and the Time Capsule.

    Are you OK with that?

    Use one of the following methods to open the tab history list:

    • Right-click on the back or next button
    • Press and hold the left button of the mouse on the active back or forward button until the list opens

    You can watch this extension:

    If you right click on your back button, or click and hold down the mouse button, it will display the list. (I prefer a click-right, because sometimes my fingers slide when I try to click and hold)

    How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    This setting should be preserved, once you set it... so I'm not sure why you have to define every time...

    Then... Make sure that you put on ALL the tools of the art of logic in the preferences of LPX...

    Otherwise... you may need to reset the prefs of LPX... Put all the Tools Advanced again and the other preferences you have set... and see if that fixes things for you...

    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not affect your media files. To reset your settings preferences of the user to Logic Pro X to their original state, do the following:

    1. Logic Pro X to quit smoking
    2. In the Finder, select go to folder menu reach.
    3. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the field 'go to folder '.
    4. Press the Go button.
    5. Delete the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you set custom shortcuts, it will reset to the default values. You can export your custom key as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X user manual for details on how to do this.
    6. If you are having problems with a control surface in Logic Pro X, you can also delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file in the Preferences folder.
    7. Restart the computer.

    Note: If you cannot find the files listed above, you don't follow the instructions properly!

  • Several computers access problem

    I just bought a WRT610 to replace my WRT54G and replied the old settings of the router.  My three home computers (wired new desktop, wired old desk, wireless laptop) can access to internet and ping the router, but cannot see each other (no ping, no remote desktop, no sharing administrative and nothing during the exploration of the network).  He worked on the old router.  Is there a setting that I missed somewhere or something?

    I appreciate your help!

    This is probably a problem with computer software firewall.  If you have connected your new router, firewall software computer noticed "joins a new network" (your new router has a new MAC address).  When you join a new network, the computer software firewall assumes that it can trust the other computers on the network and therefore blocking them.

    To resolve this issue, go to the computer on each computer software firewall and set it to "trust", other computers on your network.
