New Airport Extreme and using NAS for TimeMachine
TimeMachine does not work with my wireless router and my NAS server. I really like the idea of having the backups on a fairly reliable system instead of a normal hard drive. However, every month, TimeMachine decides these backups are no longer valid. Crashplan does not have these difficulties.
Does anyone know if connecting the NAS on an airport extreme's ethernet port and using the Extreme as my wireless router would solve this problem? If not, I guess I will just have to rely upon CrashPlan and SuperDuper.
I do some port forwarding and VPN on my existing wireless router. Is that also doable with the Extreme?
I tried using Apple's Customer Support but they keep asking for the serial number of the Extreme and I am not buying one if it does not meet my needs.
Thanks,
Ken
