Backups over the Internet Using MobileMe Family Pack

I know how to configure an AirPort (AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule) to be accessible for Back to My Mac using a MobileMe account. However, we have a Family Pack. I am the Pack master, so I used my ID to set up Back to My Mac on my Time Capsule (and Air Port Extreme at our other location). This seems to just make the master account work. Should the master account enable all of the MobileMe family accounts to leverage Back to My Mac (and hence things like remote backups)?

Recent update to AirPort enables multiple MobileMe accounts to be used for BackToMyMac

I would like to do this too. Did you figure it out?

Backup over the Internet to my new time capsule

I travel a lot, and want to back up my new (late 2013) mac air to my new time capsule.
Can I do this over the internet with time machine?
Sorry, but I can't find this in the user manual. I have DSL at home.
Thanks!!

Apple says specifically don't do it.
See BTMM and iCloud instructions.

And I quote.
Can Time Machine remotely back up or restore data from AirPort Time Capsule or its attached hard drive via Back to My Mac?
Backing up or restoring Time Machine backups remotely (that is, via Back to My Mac and the Internet instead of your local network) is not recommended. If you want to back up or restore with Time Machine and AirPort Time Capsule, you should do so while directly connected to your AirPort Time Capsule's local network.
I think Apple have good reason to recommend you don't do it.. eg.. you can easily corrupt the entire backup. So instead of having an up to date backup you will have none.
Use a 2.5" portable drive when travelling. When you get home.. backup to the TC as usual.

Remote Backup Over the Internet to Time Capsule

I am looking to backup my macbook pro over the internet to a remote Time Capsule. Is there a solution? i'm using Lion OS

How easy or hard this is depends on how the TC is setup, but if it is the main router and is getting the public IP from the modem it should be relatively easy to share on the internet. I haven't done it so let me leave that for you to google or others here to answer.
Here is a pre-googled one for you to start.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1792838?start=0&tstart=0
You can do it manually using port forwarding from the router, if you are not using TC in router mode.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
Note the requirements to use a public IP address (static address is far superior to do this) or dyndns address.
Getting port forwarding to work in some routers is non-trivial.
Apple should have designed the TC with secure ftp or some sort of vpn/ssl access.. but I digress. They didn't and as yet nobody has managed to hack one in.
But I guess I would be trying to talk you out of doing it at all. Upload on vast majority of internet connections is slow.. even if you have fast downloads, uploads are usually restricted to 1mbit.. you might be fortunate and have really fast connection but mostly uploads are far to slow to want to do this.
Lion will recognise that you are not on your home network, or the external backup device is absent and use local drive to take a snapshot. Although a local hdd is obviously less safe than a true backup, it is generally an excellent solution for roadies. That is why it is turned on by default in notebooks.

Using MobileMe Family Pack with iPad

I have a iPad and a MobileMe Family Pack subscription.
Why can't I have more MobileMe mail accounts, but not have my Calendars and Contacts of more then one MobileMe member account?
I also would like to see user management on the iPad!
Is there a work around available?
Thanks!

HI,
Setting up MobileMe aliases may work for you.

An alias does not have it's own calendar or contacts.

Transfering Files from one computer to another over the internet using ftp

I am not sure if this is the right section to post this question but i wanted to know if it was possible to use the mac ftp file sharing to transfer a file from a friends computer to mine. He is not on my network we were hoping to transfer the file over the internet the file is quite larger about 2gb. Can any one help me in telling me a way that i could do this thanks.

Enable FTP in Preferences on the target machine.
You will need the IP address...
You can find it by going here
http://whatismyip.com/
This may be a problem if the target machine is behind a router.
If all goes well... Go to Connect to Server.. and enter
ftp://ipaddress
OR
If you want to send a large file then you can check this out...

Backup over the internet

How to backup my mac to a time machine over the internet

You can use btmm and icloud.. but it is not recommended.. by Apple and most of us who deal with them. TM corrupts itself easily enough over wireless in local lan.. it will corrupt even easier over internet..
Since Mountain Lion TM will backup to the local disk when you are away. It can also backup to multiple locations.. a 1TB 2.5" drive is a pretty easy box to carry around.. and TM will automatically work to TC when back home.

How can I remotely access files over the internet using iPhone? VPN? Do I need to use Server?

Please forgive my ignorance here, as I'm a Windows expert but have only been using Mac for two and a half years. Is it possible to securely access predefined directories on my iMac from a remote computer or device over the inernet, be it a MacBook Pro, iPhone or even a Windows computer or Android phone? Is there an advantage to an Apple-only approach (iPhone and Macs)? Do I need to use Server? Is VPN the method of choice, or is there some other method? I'm not looking to do remote desktop control, just remote file access. Right now I'm using DropBox for the things I need most, but I absolutely will not put sensitive information in there, and soon I will need to have access to more than what DropBox can hold. Also it may be worth noting that I'm currently an Android user but will be going back to iPhone soon if it would be advantageous in this regard.
Thanks!
Daniel

If you desire security, you definately want to use VPN so Lion Server will work. Otherwise, if you have sysadmin experience (or know someone who does), there are free alternatives out there for vpn that can be setup on a cheap linux server and provide the same capabilities.

Hosting Video Conference Calls over the Internet using a IP/VC 3540

A client wants to use his 3540 with 30 session MCU and rate matching card to host Video Calls consisting of participants both on his local LAN/WAN and participants coming in from across the Internet. Cisco's IP/VC design guide does not specifically address a situation like this so I am at a loss. Can someone point me in the right direction ? I am at a loss.

This is something that can be done. A couple considerations that need to be looked into are where the MCU and Gatekeeper are going to reside on the network. If you place the MCU and GK behind a firewall to be protected from the Internet, then you may need to open up ports on the firewall to allow for registration to the GK and calls to the MCU to happen. The MCU or GK could also be placed in a DMZ, or just the GK with the MCU placed behind a firewall completely. As you can see there are a few choices here but it is doable.

I set my time capsule "Share disks over the internet using Bonjour"

how do I view my files? Is there something I need to download to do so? I use Mac OS X 10.5.8

I don't know exactly how, but I got it working. I will try to explain, what I did.
1. I used the easybox as DHCP-Server an set the TC to Bridge Mode.
2. Then I gave the TC a fixed IP in the easbybox menu by using it's MAC-address (It seems that the address range has to be either 192.168.X.Y or 10.0.X.Y to make the TC accessable later).
3. I made the TC a DHCP-Server (DHCP only, not also NAT). The IP addess range of the TC starts after it's own IP adress (10.0.0.111) and ends at (10.0.0.250). The IP range of the easybox starts with 10.0.0.1 (it's own) and end with the TC's (10.0.0.111).
4. Then the Airport Utility told me that if I want to share an DHCP range the TC has to be set to a fixed IP setting, which I set up, leaving the IP-address 10.0.0.111 and the Router IP 10.0.0.1 (the easyboxs').
5. Then it worked in my case. Since I don't even know what I did, I'm not shure if it workes under other circumstances.
There are of course many variables. Such as the type of the router and the TC or the kind of the internet connection.

Backups over the internet

I think this may have worked in Leopard but I haven't had Leopard in a while. I mount my Time Capsule by using the Connect to Server function and inputting afp://[My Internet IP Address] and it mounts my Time Capsule and I can read and write with no problems. However, when I try to make Time Machine do a backup, it says that the backup disk is not available. It mounts at the same mount point of /Volumes/Time Capsule, so I'm not sure why it won't find it. Any way to make this happen?

That may be possible; at least one user managed to make it work (on Leopard with an Airport, not a Time Capsule): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10056416&#10056416
I've not seen any other reports of it working, though.
If you manage to get it to work, don't depend on those backups entirely; maintain some sort of secondary backups. That's always a good idea (no app is perfect, and all hardware fails, sooner or later), but especially so with this type of, er, tenuous setup.
Let us know your results.

Windows Storage Server 2008 Backup over the internet

I have a client that uses Windows storage server 2008 Essentials and wants to backup his employees' laptops at his office to the storage server standing at his house. I have setup the network at his house with a public IP and can access remote
website for Storage server. I can even access the /connect site and download the connect software.
Then I setup a VPN tunnel to the network at his house so that the laptops at the office are on the same network as the storage server, this works and I can install the connect software when a laptop is on the VPN, meaning the connect software setup finds
the server and everything, but when I try to log in using the Launchpad or Dashboard on the laptop it says it can't find the server. How is this possible if I just installed and setup the connect software? Am I missing something here or can you point me in
the right direction. The laptops even show in the Dashboard when I remote desktop to the storage server and open the dashboard on the storage server.

Hi,
The issue may be due to the NetNatTransitionConfiguration is overlapping the backup port (default to 8912). You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:

Backing up a macbook to a mini over the Internet w/ Time Mach.

I have a Mac Mini at home and a MacBook. I need to backup my MacBook while on the road doing business.
Is there a way to backup to my MacMini at home thru Time Mach. over Apple Remote Desktop?
Is there a way to backup over the Internet thru an IP address?
I have Leopard and presently use Time Machine.
Either solution would be great. And of course my ears are open to any alternate solutions that y'all might want to float my way. I've always had great luck solving problems on these fine Discussion Boards. (OK, it's not luck -- it's the combined skill and experience of the community!) Thanks!

Personally I don't and won't use TM so I don't have an opinion about added features. TM is too unreliable as it is in my opinion.
The ability to backup over the internet is already available in many different ways not the least of which is via FTP or to use one of the hundreds of already present online services such as .Mac/MobileMe if you're willing to pay the cost.
Remote Desktop is not a backup solution. Although the client is free the server application is not, so again to use it involves a cost. Letting clients backup to servers is probably not a good idea unless that's the business of the servers. Storage space on servers is usually at a premium, so letting clients backup to the servers would waste precious storage space.
You need to understand that TM is not a general, enterprise level, do everything backup solution. It is intended to provide the average user with a built-in backup solution for personal use. There already are other types of backup utilities capable of heavier duty backup needs.
