It's explicitly stated that you can't use Time Machine to back up
to a drive connected to the Airport Base station, but, in typical
Apple fashion, it doesn't explain why, nor does it suggest that
there is an update forthcoming to allow this.
I bought the AEBS specifically for this purpose. Anyone have any
insight?
I have no idea, but thanks for mentioning it. I was considering doing
the same thing and it does seem like an obvious thing to do. In my
experience new features like this are minimally useful in their
initial release, as if Apple didn't do enough user testing with them.
Then in the next major release they add the stuff that makes the
feature really useful after getting lots of requests/complaints. I
would like to specify folders to back up, and it seems like something
you should be able to do, but that's not an option. You can only tell
it folders to *not* back up. I think it would serve most people's
needs to only back up their home folders. Time Machine is useless to
me if I can't back up to a drive connected to an Airport Base
station. Better luck in Mac OS X 10.6 I guess. ;-)
