10.5: Limit size of Time Machine backups on Time Capsule

I can verify this procedure works well, and it also allows you to migrate the backup to other drives (including a Time Capsule). I have a critique on my blog of the odd way Apple uses two different storage layouts for Time Machine and some of the consequences.

10.5: Limit size of Time Machine backups on Time Capsule

One reason against a disk image is that a corruption of that image file can render all your backups inaccessible. (To be precise, TC uses a disk image bundle which consists of hundreds to thousands of files, probably more robust than one huge file and practically necessary above a certain file size.)
