And for those who use an external NIC (e.g. b/c the built-in is broken and it’d take Apple way too long to fix it), still use the MAC of the built-in wired NIC.

Not only for this problem, if TM cannot back up on the volume, check /var/log/messages and it tells you what it exactly tries to do.

Otherwise everything worked like a charm - Thanks!

Very useful files search engine. rapidshare-provider.com is a search engine designed to search files in various file sharing and uploading sites.

I guess I need to build the sparse image locally and then upload it to the share. Disk Utility does not seem be able to browse the network

[...] TimeMachine off the bat does not work with network hosted shared. However, I did find a lot of websites that show you how to pair TimeMachine with a network share. The best instructional site I found was here! [...]

Re: encryption. No need to encrypt the disk image. Just use FreeBSD to encrypt the FBSD volume / disk. Much easier.

Chris, thanks. Yes, I forgot to mention that creating the disk image via network doesn’t work.

Just wanted to add a couple things.

1) DO NOT TRY TO CREATE THE DISKIMAGE OVER THE NETWORK. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why I was getting errors and it turns out to be a known bug.

2) When you select a format for your diskimage, leave it on APM. Timemachine would not write to a GUID diskimage.

Thanks so much Rui, I now have time machine making backups to a zfs pool!
