	Once the pergamon drive is mounted you can use it as a ~~back up~~ drive with Time Machine on a Mac OS. Simply chose the appropriate pergamon drive (e.g. home) in Time Machine and the backup should begin. Depending on the size of your disk the first backup might take up to two days. After the first backup the Time Machine will perform regular hourly backups whenever connected to the internet with pergamon drive mounted. Time Machine will create a folder "xx.sparsebundle", where "xx" is your computer name, within which all backup files are kept. Note the standard quota per user is 1TB (as of June 2019) so you might want to delete old backups manually to avoid overfilling the drive. When restoring files the Time Machine will take more time to load as compared to having an USB backup drive which is due to bandwidth limitations of the network connection.
