Comments on: Restore from an unsupported Time Machine network volume from the Leopard DVD http://nedos.net/2008/03/29/restore-from-an-unsupported-time-machine-backup-with-the-leopard-dvd/ Dmitry Nedospasov's Blog Mon, 24 May 2010 18:29:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Felix http://nedos.net/2008/03/29/restore-from-an-unsupported-time-machine-backup-with-the-leopard-dvd/comment-page-1/#comment-63 Felix Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:44:44 +0000 http://nedos.net/blog/?p=49#comment-63 Thanks a lot for your post. I'd like to add one experience. I also successfully restored my MacBook Air from a "unsupported" backup. My backups were stored on a Windows 2003 Server. What I did was the following: 1. I mounted the Windows 2003 share and connected a external USB drive. 2. In terminal I changed into the directory of the mounted Windows 2003 volume ("cd /Volumes/W2K3-Share") 3. I copied the sparsebundle using this command: rsync -avE ComputerName_0016cbab5246.sparsebundle /Volumes/ExternalUSBDrive (Change "ComputerName" "0016cbab5246" and "ExternalUSBDrives" to your values.) After that I was able to successfully restore the hard drive connecting the USB drive to the target computer. Other ways of copying didn't do the trick. I did this before I knew your page. Thanks again. I'll try your method the next time. My way is just another way to accomplish the same thing you did. Thanks a lot for your post. I’d like to add one experience.

I did however have something that looked like a serious problem but has since "gone away". Namely, after restore a lot applications would quit unexpectedly. After spotlight finished indexing and a reboot those problems disappeard. I successfully restored my MacBook from a networked volume (residing on a Linux Gentoo server) as described by you.
