Apple Mac OS X:Time Machine

Thanks to the QNAP TS-809 Pro being Linux based, it was snap easy to have it create an iSCSI Target.

For those not quite familiar, iSCSI target provisioning allows a shared folder on your SAN (in this case a NAS) to be created and treated as a virtual storage volume.

Specific Mac instructions for all QNAP devices are here. All of this of course wouldn't be possible without globalSAN's iSCSI initiator which they've provided free.
