10.5: Set up Time Machine on a NAS in three easy steps
Authored by: smides on Nov 28, '09 01:40:12PM
I just got this working this morning. One mistake I made was including the trailing "/" when copying the sparsebundle to the mount. I used autocomplete (tab) in the Terminal which automatically appends the "/". I used

  cp -r smides_[macaddr].sparsebundle /Volumes/[mount]

and then everything seemed to work. I'm doing my first full backup now. I'm curious if, since I'm using SMB, if the drive will mount correctly automatically the next time Time Machine wants to do a backup. We'll see.....
