does anyone know if a time machine backup can be saved to a network drive instead of an external drive? Is there a 3rd party program that will do that?

just got a WD my book world edition (1 tB network drive). After running into multiple dead ends, finally found a page on WD's website that said specifically " because the drive appears as a shared windows drive, it cannot be used for a time machine backup".
Sounds as if that probably applies to all network drives. (except time capsule, which is $$$$$$$$)
They did have some backup utilities for mac, but if you want to use time machine - looks like it is a time capsule
