Back up your Mac using Time Machine to TonidoPlug

• chrisbolt 17y ago
  Does it make anyone else nervous when they have to enable a hack (TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes) to make their backups work?
  • moe 17y ago
    Not in this case. All this does is enable Time Machine to see all network drives instead of only those advertising themselves with a certain magic handshake. It's a bit annoying but hey, somehow apple must sell those Time Capsules, right? $250 in profit per shot is nothing to sneeze at after all (cf. "printer cartridges")

      There's a UI advantage to that handshake, too. You get the drive icon showing up on the desktop as a Time Machine drive instead of a standard USB disk, right?

  >Your backup might fail if your computer's name contains apostrophes (which is default in Mac OS X). How hard could it be to fix this ? It looks like a sloppy script, not sure one should rely their backups on this.
