10.5: Ease Time Machine networked backups
Authored by: martinwennerberg on Mon, Nov 26 2007 at 12:46PM PST

A simple and quick way if you have one or more portable computers that back up to a stationary server is to connect an ethernet cable directly between the server and the client during the first backup. The default network settings are to use the cable rather than wireless if available so normally you need no extra configurations except the normal mount of the disk.
