    Anyone know how to get Timemachine to sync wirelessly with a macbook via airport extreme? I was told in the Apple store that it would work and got the airport extreme home and it didn’t.

    Easy until you try to install time machine on a Buffalo Linkstation and need Google and the terminal to get it to work.

    Time Machine is garbage. I only use it to back up my system in-case of a system failure that will lead me to do a complete restore from backup.

    When it comes to ‘going back in time” and restoring specific files, it’s such a painfully slow, laggy process.
    I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody.
