Tim Machine Fix for Lion
« on: April 06, 2012, 06:32:26 PM »
Hi Folks,

I've seen a few comments on here about Time Machine not working on Lion OS. I just bought a DNS-325, loaded it up with drives, and went to back-up my wife's new MacBook Air. I ran into the same issues reported here.

However a little bit of sifting through the web and I found my answer. Check out this great article by Greg Hesp on setting up a Time Machine back-up on Ubuntu. The Ubuntu stuff doesn't apply us DNS-325 users, but starting on point #5, this should patch up Lion enough to start your back-ups.

btw... he refers to another site for a shell script to create the sparse bundle. You'll have to create an account there to login and download the files.

I've set my sparse bundle to 500G so her MacBook doesn't eat up the entire drive. Set yours for what makes sense. It's backing-up nicely now.

Best of luck!
