10.5: Make Time Machine work with AirPort and AFP disks
Authored by: mark hunte on Oct 31, '07 10:41:33AM

I have been using my Tm with a networked drive over afp. It works, but I do not think it is reliable (yet) for some reason,
it missed out 5gb worth of data??.

I suspect TM is designed not to hog cpu or any other resource , and just chug along in the background, connected directly by Firewire is slower
than you would normally expect but on my G4 ppc 12'' did about 65gb in just under two hours.

But over the network.. It is VEERRRRYYY, VEERRRRYYY SLOOOOOW. It was like encoding a long dvd. many many hours

I have also restored using the network, which work well.

I will be killing the backup and start again with FW, until the networking in TM gets better.
