10.5: Make Time Machine work with AirPort and AFP disks
Authored by: Drakino on Oct 31, '07 11:30:48PM
I went a slightly different way of getting this working using 2 Leopard Macs and a NAS, and it's also working for me to restore as well, both from the Time Machine interface, and off the Leopard DVD. I submitted it as a hint, but it may be in the queue, due to the testing required.

They key thing is to ensure a sparseimage bundle is created, and not just a folder on the hard disk. Moving a sparseimage bundle to a network server is safe, as the Leopard specific HFS changes live inside the disk image. However these specific requirements don't work if all you do is move over the Backups.backupdb folder.
