Has anybody managed to get this working under Snow Leopard? I'm having some difficulties and it's behaving slightly differently than described.

First of all, the sparsebundle image it creates does not have my ethernet MAC address. It's just Mymac.tmp.sparsebundle. If I try to rename my sparsebundle Mymac.sparsebundle, then it creates another tmp Mymac1.tmp.sparsebundle - and keeps giving me the 45 error regardless. Either way, no luck in tricking it into useing a locally created sparsebundle

the Buffalo LinkStation Live has a configuration option to set up the base files for you, makes it pretty easy. Documentation isn't great, go into the NAS, configure the Time Machine options, you need your Mac's hostname and MAC address. note, appears time machine always uses your ethernet MAC address (took me a couple failed tries to notice. if you're not familiar with command line, you can grab your MAC address from Apps->Utilities->Network Utility, the Info tab, would be the hardware address for en0. you do have to enter it hex with colons)

thank you!!!

That's a good question... I haven't completed my first backup yet, thus I have not tried a restore yet. I'll get to that sometime this weekend I suppose. I'll post a follow-up once I do.

I'm doing something similar for my mini. It's not clear to me whether or not it is possible to restore from a network backup though. The things I've read say no but I haven't checked lately.

I'm assuming that they will eventually enable network backups and restores as a fully supported option, but in the meantime, I'm still backing up important files separately.
