Bubba as a time machine

Hi,
it seems to be possible setting up a Debian like as an Apple Time Machine
http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubu ... ne-volume/

I wasn't able do it on bubba though.
Is it possible, and does sombody in Excito have tested that?

Regards,
Tom

Hi art1go,

We have not actually tested this our selfs. When looking at the page you refer to bubba should already have steps 1-5 done.

Exactly what fails?

Hi Tor,

Thanks for replying.
I've followed again the tutorial from step 2 to 5 and it seems to works fine.
I'll let you know if I've got any trouble on further backup though.

btw, thanks for all those features you added on bubba to help it to communicate better with Mac/PC/Linux
I'm talking about Bonjour, Firefly, Netatalk. You should let people know Bubba works great with a Mac

cheers

The big problem with using this tutorial is the lack of quota management. TimeMachine just keep the backing up until the disk is full - so setting a quota would be nice.

It would also be really cool if you could do this easily from the webinterface.

And, yeah, thanks for all the cool mac features. The easy AFP support was the last thing I needed to convince my friend he should buy a Bubba instead of a Synology. =)

Another way to go about it is to give Time Machine its own partition.

I dont think so any thing that works as a Time Machine and Bubba is not possible to use it as a time machine. Try it cant be done.

It is possible. I use my Bubba 2 with Time Machine from two different Snow Leopard Macs. I followed the instructions at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php? ... 5212640957. I was not able to download the "simple method", but I followed the "manual method" to the letter, and it worked.

(You must also look up the instructions for Leopard. There's a link in the Snow Leopard article. The most crucial step is the

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

command.)
