So are AFP network drives OK?
I've been wanting a Time Machine backup to a network drive since I heard about TM in the first place. Having a local hard drive as the only acceptable backup location defeats one of the the main tenets of creating a backup; that it should be in a different physical location from the original.

I am using my ReadyNAS NV+ as my Time Machine drive via AFP. I have not run out of space yet so I can't tell if data is being deleted. Can anyone confirm that this is not a problem using AFP?

With Netatalk, this does not work. Same problem as with SMB.

XRaid is a supported configuration for Time Machine, isn't it? You don't have to enable this hack, just be running Leopard on the server.

I believe leopard server is a possibility, but over the network? Anyway, I'm running Tiger Server on the Xserve, and have no plans to run Leopard any time soon. Also, I'd love to set something up for my home computers to back each other up via the network. Still not perfect (i.e. off-site), but better than the half-a$$ed way I'm doing it now. Currently I'm just burning CDs of stuff I think is important. I could set something up with rsync, etc., but I've been so looking forward to Time Machine being my backup of choice, both for ease of use and as an example to my PC using friends!

You don't need Leopard Server to use Time Machine over a network. Just regular Leopard is fine. I do this at home. It's a supported configuration (in the help files and everything). |
