I believe that OS X is supposed to create a .dmg (more or less) file for Time Machine when used with non-local disks. Even when using Apple's Time Capsule, that's what it will do. OS X can then mount the dmg file locally and do whatever it wants, independent of the capabilities of the NAS device. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
