10.5: Set up Time Machine on a NAS in three easy steps
Authored by: Sesquipedalian on Jul 21, '09 11:55:37AM

The host file system does not have to be HFS+. However, the sparse bundle will appear as a folder with a ._* file next to it, where * is the name of the sparse bundle. This is the mechanism used to store Mac metadata on non-native file systems. It would probably not be a good idea to delete or move the ._* file.

When mounted, the file system contained within the sparse bundle will be HFS+.
