10.5: Set up Time Machine on a NAS in three easy steps
Authored by: lookfirst on Nov 14, '08 09:05:38AM
If you have a Drobo/DroboShare NAS, I've spent a lot of time creating a FREE solution for it that installs pre-configured netatalk (AFP) and avahi (Bonjour) packages on the DroboShare. It makes your Drobo available for TimeMachine backups.

I've also created an Automator action application which does the 'defaults write' and creates the initial sparsebundle for you. This is a reliable painless way to do backups that gets you a far better deal than a TimeCapsule. It has even been tested with a full system restore without any problems.

Tell your friends!
