    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    Can you ping the VM or each other using only the machine name? I assume all machines are sitting on the same local network at home or something? The MyTimeCapsule icon appears in your Finder side bar right? Does the 'other' client machine appear on each client machine (i.e. macbook on...

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    Hi Ozum, I will get Tim to add the tmuser/tmuser more clearly in the first article. However, that said, you should not need to use Go-->Connect (ever) and I don't know why it isn't working for you... Installing Avahi should mean that you can see and then connect to the time capsule...

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    Hi Ozum It is strange that ".local" is appended to the end of MyTimeCapsule. In finder, can you try connecting with afp using the IP address instead of the name? Kevin

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    hmmmm, this is very strange. Some thoughts: I have only ever backed up to a network share so I have no grounds for comparison to a usb drive. However I found that things like you mention about only a few k getting backed up did sometimes happen but generally they tended to resolve themselves...

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    It's caused by a change in MAC address. The system reserved the MAC that was on my system as eth0, so when you add your adapter (which has a different MAC) it puts it at eth1. Try this: edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and remove all the lines under the initial comment (the...

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    I know what the problem is, it is now assigned to eth1 (cause by a new MAC address I think). Let me write some instructions. Not sure why this hasn't come up before....

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    Hi Keith, welcome to the forums. Hmmm, this is a strange one. Some thoughts: 1. I guess, as you are running on a WHS server, there is no wireless, but under the Bridged setting, please check that it is bridged to the right physical adapter on your host machine. It will probably say something...

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    I think I know the problem. I should provide some proper instructions for increasing the hard disk. Let's begin: remove the old disk image in VirtualBox (100GB on SATA Port 2) Create a new disk image in VirtualBox and attach it to your VM again on SATA Port 2. Boot the VM and log in with...

    The solution at the bottom of this post will fix the passwd issue: http://tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1574994 However I don't know why (nor have time to find out) why it is happening. Can you please post the output of: df -h and tail -n 5 /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default Thanks Kevin

    phew! I was out of ideas. You should see the icon if you have <txt-record>model=TimeCapsule</txt-record> in your afpd.service file.

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    I think I am stumped. Try this: remove options:tm from your AppleVolume.default file. Restart networking Now you should be able to see the share MyTimeCpasule as a regular Mac share. Can you write to it now?

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    hmmmm, I was going to suggest formatting it. Can you format it as ext4 within the VM? Thanks for the update about your first problem! Kevin

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    Sounds similar to the problem in post 4/5 but that should have been fixed. Please try the solution in post 5 and report back. p.s. when something starts working it is helpful to other people to post what you did in order to get it working. That way other people can learn from your experience...
