Disappointed when Leopard arrived and you couldn’t back up to a shared network drive using Time Machine? Well put away that razor blade, Sally. We’ve got a trick for you.
Open Terminal (Applications/Utilities) and enter the following (on one line, as one command), then hit Enter:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
Open Time Machine preferences and enjoy the benefits of network storage.
