Store Time Machine backups on an AFP NAS
Authored by: Drakino on Nov 08, '07 09:54:34AM

Agreed. The preference change makes this whole procedure not really needed anymore. I had thrown this all together pretty quickly after Leopard came out, and before the hidden preference was discovered.

One thing I haven't tested though is to see how the preference affects Leopards ability to see a share booting off the DVD for a complete restore. Using the method above, it showed up as long as I used Terminal to mount the disk first (mount_afp).

first hint worked here, not the second

I have an iomega NAS server here, and when I tried the "unsupported = 1" prefs change the NAS volumes appeared in Time Machine but I systematically got an error in creating the backup files; on the contrary your longer step-by-step worked perfectly :-)
