You'll need the "Computer Name," and the name of the "Shared Folder" you chose above, as well as your Mac username and password for the following section

|
|
|
|
#. Fill in the following fields:
|
|
|
|
* Hostname - This is the name of your Computer, as shown in the "Sharing" menu earlier
|
|
* 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 your user (from above) password

|
|
.. 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.

|
|
#. Click "Save".

|

That's it! You can now :ref:`Create<backup-create>` encrypted, private backups of all your Embassy data to your Mac or external drive!!
