[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1825475, member: 131855"] The last time I did this I used one of the Apple Time Capsules to connect the type of drive you are using but it doesn't have to be a Time Capsule to work. There are some NAS drives that support Time Machine but I'll have to do some digging to find the specific instructions needed for the setup you would be using. If I remember correctly some routers do not work well with that setup. The sparsebundle format isn't really a work-around. It's actually the format that Time Machine uses when backups are stored on network drives. Can you post a link to that article? BTW Which TP Link router are you using? [/QUOTE]
