Hi,

re the above ‘Time Machine unable to create backup image’

I was having exactly the same trouble until I followed the article about creating the sparse bundle locally then copying it to the backup share.

Jeremy, awesome article.

The only thing is that the terminal commands that you listed above work, and allow me to see the WHS folders. The issue is that I keep getting an error message that says ‘Time Machine unable to create backup image’. This is the first time I am running Time Machine and have never gotten it working.

Any thoughts/tips/tricks?

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

Type the above in Terminal. That will enable network volumes in time machine. It’s what iTimeMachine did.

I can’t find the itimemachine file anywhere. I’ll look at alternatives and try to post them this weekend.

Thanks so much Jeremy.

I’ve tried mininova and a couple of google searches with the name ‘torrent’ added in but no luck there.

So if you happen to discover where to find the program it would be much appreciated.
