Great work! I’m new to mac and this made things so much easier. I spent about half an hour talking to a “product specialist” and got no were, in half the time i was able to read this, set it up, and back it up! Thanks!

Thanks very much for the tips.
I found it all seemed to go well up until the time machine backup started, then it fails while still in the preparation step with an error ‘The backup disk image could not be mounted.’ It is already mounted on the desktop and I can write to the drive. I have repeated all steps a few times, and check my settings against the notes. Not sure where to go from here, any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Noah,

I’m glad this was helpful to you. I haven’t looked at/updated this blog for such a long time now. I might add some other tricks I found when I have time. The ruby script looks good!

Excellent article.

I just setup my backup following your instructions and it works great.

I also created a down and dirty ruby script here:

To help me automate most of what you outlined.

Cheers,
