Using Time Machine over a network connection

Leopard’s new Time Machine feature is really useful for backing your Mac up - but only if you have a physically attached drive.

What if you want to backup over the network ?

The following patch will allow Time Machine support on network drives

Open up a terminal and execute the following


defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

Restart/open Time Machine and you should now see available network shares!
