Updated guide for 10.5.5, works when your computer name has spaces
Authored by: adamcr on Thu, Oct 23 2008 at 10:00AM PDT

I've updated my guide to getting Time Machine working on non-Apple network drives (including over a wireless network).

I've also included a modified version of these instructions with a small correction to make the hdiutil call work on 10.5.5 and another that deals with Computer Names that have spaces and apostrophes.

Everything's working fine for me -- but watch out for putting your computer to sleep during a Time Machine backup!

Thanks for the article and the link!
