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 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 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.

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?

It should mount just as any other drive or image file will. Once that is done open up terminal and run this command (leave the quotes in place): sudo tmutil setdestination "/Volumes/Time Machine Backups/" Now open up Time Machine and turn it on. You don't have to select your disk, the command in terminal did that for you. sh

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 time machine 1. selecting backup disc NONE and then 2 creating new backup -selecting the backup device and time machine tries to "make 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 sparsebundle could not 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.

Because Time Machine uses a dual-ended checksum protocol, it is only compatible with a directly-connected USB/FW/SATA drive, a networked Time Capsule, or another Mac running OSX 10.5.2 or greater. Even though Apple's own AEBS lets Time Machine save its backup bundle to an AirDisk, it is officially unsupported. Once a Time Machine archive develops a fault, the entire archive is un-usable, and should be deleted and the whole backup started over from scratch. Reply With Quote 4th June 2011,02:07 PM #4 JohnPrewitt Join Date Jun 2011 Posts 1 Brains, Don't give up so easily. The issue with backing up over a network is that you may not have sufficient privilege to write into the folders on the network drive and/or the .sparsebundle file. Change the

You want to make use of this disk space to store your Time Machine backups. You open Time Machine Preferences and the only way you can add a non-local disk is via a Time Capsule or AirPort-connected storage. Now what? If this is your problem and you have upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, there is a workaround… Keep reading. The reason why Time Machine Preference Pane doesn't show network drive is likely the Mac Developer's mantra: keep simple things simple and complex things possible. Novice users, by definition, are inexperienced -- they're likely haven't gone through the pain of losing data and discounted the value of backups. Thus to not complicate things more and make it easy for most users (especially novices) Time Machine's preferences only cater for the two common cases: Directly-attached external storage (via USB, Firewire, or Thunderbolt). Time Capsule or Airport Base Station attached storage. But with Mac OS X 10.7, Apple have now made more advanced cases possible. As with most advanced stuff, you will need to open up Terminal to do it. The secret? The new tmutil command. Back to the HOWTO. In order to create a Time Machine backup on a network folder you need to follow these three steps: Create a HFS+ disk image, preferably sparse disk image, and place the disk image file into its destination folder/server where it will live. It shouldn't matter whether it is SMB (Windows) or AFP (Mac) shared folder as long as your Mac can write to it. Mount the disk image and use the tmutil command to tell where is it. Make sure that the disk image is in it's permanent home before you use tmutil (Also, don't change the server name or shared folder name after Time Machine use it as your backup volume). Tell Time Machine to start the backup process to make sure it works. Still not clear? Here comes the walkthrough Creating the Disk Image Open Disk Utility Click on New Image Set a large enough size for the disk image. Ensure that the Format is "Mac
