Time Machine: How to backup to unsupported volumes
one of the features we were most looking forward to was the ability to set Time Machine to use a NAS volume like Airport Disk, thus making laptop backups wireless and sexy (well, sort of sexy) instead of wired and cumbersome. Sadly, Apple cut the feature at the last minute, but as with all things OS X, nirvana is usually just a defaults write command away, and Volker Weber has got it sorted for us. Just pop open a terminal window and enter:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
and you should be able to select NAS volumes in the Time Machine prefs.
