=== Backups with Time Machine ===
==== Afp SMB (Samba) ==== '''WARNING - Hack ahead!''' For Time Machine smb users only. There is an unsupported way to enable using Mac OS X Time Machine to backup to your HDA. The [http://vowe.net/archives/008940.html Time Machine hack] is a one liner command to be typed in a terminal in Mac OS X: <code>defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1</code> This will offer you the choice to backup to your HDA shares. It should be noted that mounting a directory from your HDA via NFS let's you use time machine without this hack. Needless to say, we're not advocating you backup your data like this, since Apple does not support this functionality. There are rumors that data corruption can occur if the size of the backup exceeds 2TB or if a large number of files, on the order of a million, are backed up. Because the exact conditions leading to data corruption are not well quantified, we do not recommend you backup like this. ==== AFP ====
For full time machine support in fedora, avahi(bonjour) and netatalk(afp) need to be installed
*timemachine image will grow when you synchronize but never larger than the max size
*time machine will now find your amahi time capsule
