Be careful with Time Machine and non-Apple NAS storage...
This is all true, but it doesn't have anything to do with this hint. The hint merely disables the automatic initiation of Time Machine backups. The remote sparsebundle is mounted and dismounted by the OS just as it otherwise would be.
I've been using this method for a couple of months now without a problem. In fact my frequency of corruption of the sparsebundle image on the server has decreased, because I can begin backups when I know there is less chance of server interruption. And also simply because the number of backups is lower. (Do I really need 24 backups each day? Others, maybe. Me, no.)

You're right that this doesn't have anything to do with the above hint (except to say that the setup described is dangerous), but you're probably not right that it works just the same. |
