Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to set up Apple's Time Machine using the USB port on the Asus RT-AC66U.

I can follow these tutorials:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...leopard-time-machine-backup-to-network-share/
http://lifehacker.com/5691649/an-ea...ne-to-back-up-to-a-networked-windows-computer

But when I run this code:
Code:
sudo tmutil setdestination /Volumes/TimeMachine/
I get this error:
Code:
/Volumes/TimeMachine: Incompatible file system type: smbfs (error 45)

Thank you.
Regards!
 
I had found the solution.

I was missing this part:

Pulled this from [MacRumors](http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1544990):

- After you get the sparse bundle created in your desired location, mount the sparse bundle by double clicking it. It should mount just as any other drive or image file will.

- Once that is done open up terminal and run this command (leave the quotes in place):

sudo tmutil setdestination "/Volumes/Time Machine Backups/"

- Now open up Time Machine and turn it on. You don't have to select your disk, the command in terminal did that for you.
