Diary of a Bad Golfer

One of the new features of Leopard is Time Machine a feature that automatically backs up your Mac. The main thing I didn’t like about it is that I have 2+ TB of disk space on my file server, and only a 250 gb USB drive connected to my Mac, using Time Machine the only way I could use it was with the attached USB drive. But I found there is a hack to allow you to use Time Machine with a Windows networked share. From a terminal window type:

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

Then go to System Preferences, Time Machine and click on Change Disk and you can now select your network share.
