One snag with backing up to a remote time machine volume is to make sure that the volume is dedicated to time machine. TM will keep adding backups until the volume is full and then start deleting the oldest editions. Before I realized this I had tried to use a data drive that had my itunes and such on it as a time machine drive and suddenly found all my space was gone. I later partitioned the drive so there was dedicated space for each which resolved the issue.

Hi,
As so often here and other places, i stumble upon a thread and sorta think it's 
not interesting to me now and go on, however i read in this particular thread 
and it placed ideas in my poor spinning head, so this is my question: Someone 
here mentioned that they had a Buffalo NAS, don't remember the exact model now, 
but are these easy to work with and set up and so on? I'm thinking about a Link 
Station Pro Duo 4 TB, but before i fork out the money, i want to know if it is 
easy to work with and configure or if i'd do better with another NAS or 
possibly some other solution. I want to use it as a central storage for my 
ITunes and the like.
