Hi Mac friends.

I'd like to temporarily make an unused networked 2TB drive from someone else's PC (I have permission) as the Time Machine backup (I'm just backing up 1TB maximum but they say it' best to have double for allowance) while budget is allocated for softwares like SuperDuper! or CarbonCopy Cloner or budget for a 2TB SSD external). Is there a command via Terminal to make Time Machine use it or a 3rd party app, preferably free open-source? It'll effectively become an adhoc NAS I suppose.

Thank you in advance.
