10.5: Set up Time Machine on a NAS in three easy steps
Authored by: MJL on Tue, Jul 15 2008 at 8:21PM PDT

So, the computer ran for about three hours and then a black screen popped up that forced me to restart the computer.

Well, it sounds like a great idea, but I haven't gotten it to work. We ended up using an old USB hard drive to backup the computer.

I might try it again at some point, but I've been looking at some third party backup programs. They seem to offer backup to a networked drive, so I might try that. However, I would really prefer to use TM, but this is too frustrating. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Hopefully, someone will figure it out.... if you do, please let us know.
