Setup a Network Folder
----------------------
Please select what version of MacOS you are using from the two tabs below:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Ventura
#. Identify or create a folder you would like to use to store your Start9 server's backups.
.. tip:: You can select an external drive or folder within an external drive connected to your Mac if you'd like.
#. Go to **System Settings**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/systemSettings.png
:width: 40%
:alt: System settings
#. Click on **General** then **Sharing**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/ventura-general-sharing.png
:width: 40%
:alt: general-sharing
#. Click the toggle to enable file sharing:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/ventura-enable-file-sharing.png
:width: 40%
:alt: enable-cifs
#. Click on the **"+"** icon and select the folder you would like to make backups to:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/ventura-click-plus.png
:width: 40%
:alt: click-plus
#. Once added, click **Options**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/ventura-folder-added.png
:width: 40%
:alt: ventura-folder-added
#. Enable SMB sharing for the user you want to use and then click **Done**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/ventura-smb.png
:width: 40%
:alt: ventura-smb
You can now move on to connecting your server.
.. group-tab:: Pre-Ventura
#. Identify or create a folder you would like to use to store your Start9 server's backups.
.. tip:: You can select an external drive or folder within an external drive connected to your Mac if you'd like.
#. Go to **System Preferences** and click **Sharing**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-mac0.png
:width: 40%
:alt: sharing
#. Click **File Sharing**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-mac1.png
:width: 40%
:alt: file-sharing
#. Click the **"+"** icon under **Shared Folders** and add the folder you would like to back up to:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-mac2.png
:width: 40%
:alt: click-plus
#. After selecting your folder, click **Options**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-mac3.png
:width: 40%
:alt: options
#. Enable **Share files and folders using SMB** and turn it on for the user you would like to use to authenticate and then click **Done**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-mac4.png
:width: 40%
:alt: SMB
#. Make a note of your computer's **Hostname** which can be found here:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-mac-hostname.png
:width: 40%
:alt: hostname
#. You will also need the name of the "Shared Folder" you chose or created, as well as your Mac's username and password.
Connect Your Server
-------------------
#. Go to the **System** tab and click **Create Backup**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/backup.png
:width: 60%
:alt: system-create-backup
#. Click **Open New**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/backup0.png
:width: 60%
:alt: open-new
#. You will now see the following:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-blank.png
:width: 50%
:alt: cifs-blank
Enter the credentials as follows:
* **Hostname** - This is the name of your computer.
.. tip:: Sometimes it can be unclear what your Mac's hostname is. One way to establish it for good is to open up Terminal and type `hostname` as below:
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/hostname-terminal-mac.png
:width: 35%
:alt: hostname-terminal-mac
In Pre-Ventura versions of MacOS it can be found in the **Sharing** settings mentioned above (step 7).
* **Path** - This is the *name of the shared folder* you are using and **not** the full directory path.
.. tip:: If you copied the share name from the Mac computer and it contained a space, macOS will have replaced the space with the string "%20". Please re-replace `%20` with a space in this `Path` field.
* **Username** - This is the user on the remote machine that you used to create the shared directory.
* **Password** - This is the password to the above user.

.. note:: If you are on MacOS Catalina (version 10.15.7), and the backup fails, please `see this Apple support thread <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253970425>`_. If the provided solution still doesn't work, SMB file sharing probably will not work for this old Mac. Consider backing up to a USB thumb drive instead.
.. note:: If you recently updated to MacOS Ventura (version 13.2), and you cannot get the share to connect:
#. Turn off file sharing switch in **General > Sharing**
#. Restart macOS
#. Turn on file sharing switch in **General > Sharing**
#. Click **Connect**.
That's it! You can now :ref:`create encrypted, private backups<backup-create>` of all your Start9 server's data to your Mac.
