Hi,
I've been following a interesting an very helpful post back from 2011 by Kevin Herring with regards to setting up a Time Capsule backup server on a windows machine. (http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/labels/time-machine)
Apologies for bringing up such an old topic, but I have run into a problem and wondered if the Author was still around to be able to help out at all?
Basically, I have started out using the pre-packaged packages as in Step 1, and this works flawlessly! Can't believe how easy this was to setup. However the issue I had was that the pre-packaged version only holds 100GB of backups. I have a spare 2TB drive which I wanted to use for Time Capsule, so decided to follow the easy to follow instructions.
Firstly I had issues with using the most recent debian install, as it would fail on the section where you install the SSH/Sys Utils, so found a Debian 6.0.2.1 install which has allowed me to get past the install issue with 7.7.0
Everything else has installed or run correctly with no errors noticed, and whilst I can get the MyTimeCapsule to mount in OS X, Time Machine just won't pick it up the network share.
Does anyone know why this happens? Have I missed a crucial step out somewhere (re installed twice to no avail)
Thanks,
SOu
