Hi,

You can configure this using the tmutil command line set to run once as a policy.

Look up man tmutil in the terminal for more info.

@davidacland Hi Can you please help me for that
sudo tmutil setdestination afp://$curuser:$PASSWORD@SERVER-MP.oocl.com/Backups

Do you have any idea to get the PASSWORD variable of local user?

I think ideally you wouldn't store the password in there as it would be readable in clear text.

You could either use kerberos authentication or possibly save the password in the keychain. For the second option you would need to have the user enter the password, unless you already know it?
