![]() ![]() In this article, I will detail my quest to find or build a better Time Capsule and solicit the collective wisdom of the TidBITS community to further that quest. ![]() To the extent that I conclude anything, it is that when it comes to network backup for the Mac, there are many choices, each with tradeoffs, and you’ll need to decide what makes the most sense for your situation.īut first, one product stands out purely on simplicity-Western Digital’s My Cloud Home. As a network backup device, it is nearly a direct equivalent to the Time Capsule. As you’ll see, it meets almost none of my preferred technical requirements, but it’s dead easy to set up, and it fulfills its purpose reliably. As such, if all the other possible solutions-some of which are less expensive, offer better performance, and provide more flexible restoration options-seem overwhelming, just get yourself a My Cloud Home and move on. Requirements for Network Time Machine Backup For an extra level of protection, you may opt for the My Cloud Home Duo, a model that writes your backup twice across two drives. I’m looking for a network Time Machine solution that isn’t just good for me, but for my clients, who don’t share my tech skills and many of whom I support remotely. Therefore, some of my requirements might not apply to a tech-savvy Mac user, though I bias toward simpler solutions even for my own use. ![]()
