need it often enough, that I thought I'd blog about it. That way it at least gives me a single place to look. Maybe it will help others too. Much of the specifcs, especially the hdiutil encrypt time machine backups command line and the ifconfig trick, I sourced from this thread in the ReadyNAS forums. Note that the advice is by no means specific to ReadyNAS drives (I have a Thecus NAS myself). Many thanks to btaroli in that thread for the insight. Time Machine Time Machine is Apple's easy-to-use backup system, baked into OS X (as of Leopard). Unfortunately it doesn't allow you to back-up to a networked drive out of disable local time machine backups the box. Enabling this ability is pretty easy. Early on there were some reliability issues - which were largely due to the fact that Time Machine created a disk image (more specifically, a sparse bundle) on the network drive, and this was prone to corruption if the network connection was disrupted during a backup. I don't know if all the issues here have been entirely resolved now, but it does seem more reliable. Apple's own Time Capsule, which has been specifically designed to work with Time Machine, uses this same method, so it is no longer an entirely unsupported technique. Enabling Time Machine for network drives So how do you enable backing up to network drives? Open a terminal window and paste the following in (then hit return, of course): defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1 Mounted network drives will then show up in the list of destinations available for storing backups. Getting a working disk image Unfortunately this is not always enough. Often, after doing this, Time Machine will appear to start preparing a backup then fail with a cryptic error code. The error I have seen is: Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/backups-1/Wall-E.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 45). "Error 45"? What's that. If I try to create

AM #1 KAIM Join Date Dec 2010 Posts 1 Time machine error 17 and 45 I am using an external hard disc - Seagate goFlex Home connected to Wifi http://www.levelofindirection.com/journal/2009/10/10/using-a-networked-drive-for-time-machine-backups-on-a-mac.html Router. The first time machine setup worked fine and I got to backup my Mac probook just fine. After a month I got error messages saying backup failed. now I try to create a new backup by 1. selecting backup disc NONE and then 2 creating new backup -selecting the backup device and time machine tries to "make http://www.mactalk.com.au/19/96115-time-machine-error-17-45-a.html disc space available" - this is taking about 2 minutes. Then I get an error message: Time machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image"/Volumes/GoFlexHome Public-1/KM's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 45). The error is displayed as error 17 as well. I have no problem accessing the network drive at all thanks Kai Reply With Quote 26th December 2010,08:23 AM #2 snark Join Date Apr 2005 Location Melbonia Posts 2,192 In my experience, backing up using Time Machine to a disk connected to your wireless router works perfectly well - until it doesn't. I had the same thing happen to me when I used a NAS drive. Unless you are using a Time Capsule, you really are better off connecting the disk directly to your machine.

It's just a disk image stored on an SMB share. The issue is that previously the SMB share showed up when the defaults setting was set, now it doesn't. –Cybergibbons Nov 8 '13 at 14:53 What version is the SMB service?

How to create a network backup with Apple's TimeMachine 11 May 2010 / matej / 10 Comments If you have tried to set up network backup on OS X and you ran into the message "the backup disk image could not be created", probably this article will help you. OS X's TimeMachine software had native support for network backup until the OS X Leopard 10.5.2 was released. Apple had its own reasons for the decision to remove network backup, but many advanced users including us at Foliovision would still like to be able to back up over the network. We have a bunch of Mac Minis in a mixed network of Linux and Windows computers. We'd like to use all our Minis for work and not for backup and use one of our older Linux towers to store the backup. How do you do it? Fortunately Apple left us an option to turn-on network support for TimeMachine by running the following command in terminal: defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1 We can finally see network hardrives in selection for backup places. The problem might seems to be solved. No dice: it is only the beginning. If you select a network drive for backup, you will see a very familiar message: the backup disk image could not be created Google automatically completes the phrase as soon as you type "the backup d". The real problem is in the file system which must be used for TimeMachine backup. TimeMachine only supports Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system. The solution is to create a place on the network, which will trick TimeMachine, into thinking that it holds data in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system. This trick is accomplished via copying a sparsebundle image (with special name) to a network share. You ha
