Occasional musings that fall out of my brain and on to the site. Occasionally more occasional than I'd like. But will try to fix that.

Time Machine over SMB

Or in fact to any volume your Leopard running Mac doesn't seem to want to use for backups, simply run this at the Terminal...

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

(thanks Dave)

I've yet to get the Install DVD to use an SMB share as a source for a full system recovery though, so best to keep an external drive spare that you can copy the backup to should you need to do a complete restore.
