10.5: Make Time Machine work with AirPort and AFP disks
Authored by: brad-x on Oct 31, '07 10:55:13AM

Don't use this hint with a Samba or Netatalk server running on a Linux host. Not all filesystem semantics required by Time Machine are likely to be understood by SMB or Netatalk's rudimentary AFP implementation.

If you're using a Linux server, look into setting up iSCSI disks and mounting them on the Mac with the globalSAN iSCSI client. Time Machine recognizes these natively.
