Some of the legacy support can be re-enabled by using hand-tuned configuration options, accessed through the. Apple's acts as a device specifically for Time Machine backups, allowing both wired and wireless backups to the Time Capsule's internal hard drive.

Time Machine may also be used with any external or internal volume. Time Machine saves hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for everything older than a month until the volume runs out of space.

It'll cause some issues doing so. 2010 mac pro had a xeon board but doesn't support thunderbolt. It also needs to be certified for it to be detected by the OS. Same thing they do with Graphics Cards.

When using remote storage, Time Machine uses. This acts as an isolation layer, which makes the storage neutral to the actual file system used by the network server, and also permits the replication of the backup from one storage medium to another.
