How About an external HDD on a USB Port

tjlst15, if I understand your problem, this might be helpful.

I recently had a similar problem with my home(SOHO) network and I was able to use a Maxtor external HDD. I booted up an older PC used as a server using a bootable CD-ROM with Acronis True Image 8 on it. I was then able to back up that machine to the external HDD.

The disk format used by external HDD might be a problem, so might want to repartition it to use ext3. I was using NTFS, but Acronis was able to write to an NTFS disk.

I was moving a fairly small amount of disk data(192 MEGs with compression), so a USB 1.1 port was good enough for the purpose, but in your sitch a faster USB 2.0 port might be helpful. (The Maxtor 80GB external HDD that I have supports USB 2.0, but is backward compatible with a USB 1.1 port.)

Does this help?

AssetCacheTetheratorUtil(8)				    BSD System Manager's Manual 			       AssetCacheTetheratorUtil(8)

NAME

     AssetCacheTetheratorUtil -- control networking of tethered devices

SYNOPSIS

     AssetCacheTetheratorUtil [-j|--json] enable [--duration seconds] --first address --last address --server path
     AssetCacheTetheratorUtil [-j|--json] disable
     AssetCacheTetheratorUtil [-j|--json] isEnabled
     AssetCacheTetheratorUtil [-j|--json] status

DESCRIPTION

     iOS and tvOS devices connected to a computer with a USB cable can be "tethered," so that they route their Internet requests through the com-
     puter.  AssetCacheTetheratorUtil enables a tethered network (perhaps for a specified number of seconds), disables it, or reports on its sta-
     tus.  AssetCacheTetheratorUtil must be run by root, except for the isEnabled and status commands.

OPTIONS

     -j|--json	   Print results in machine-parseable JSON format to stdout.

     --duration seconds
		   Automatically tear down the tether after a specified amount of time.

     --first address

     --last address
		   The first and last IPv4 addresses, in dot notation, to use for the tethered network.  The gateway -- the tethering Mac -- will
		   have the first address.

     --server path
		   The path to a plist specifying the tethered content cache.  The plist must be a dictionary with the following keys and values:

		   capabilities dictionary
				 A set of capabilities that the content cache supports.

		   guid string	 The content cache's ServerGUID.

		   port number	 The port number on which the content cache accepts requests.
