Know of a supported/working configuration of Time Machine + NAS?

The problem with most of these responses is that people don't talk about their recovery experience. Am in the same boat and what I want to hear about is how people recovered their data (+ experiences if/when the NAS itself failed). – Mystic Dec 24 '11 at 5:08

I use a Netgear ReadyNAS, which has support for Time Machine built in.

The time capsule from Apple is made to work with Time Machine, and it's also a wireless access point.

Or you can use Airport extreme/express and connect a USB harddrive I think.

I've been using a LaCie Network Space Max 2 TB for a couple months and it is working fine. It has built-in support for Time Machine. I have a mini, an iMac, an iBook and a MacBook all backing up to it.

The QNAP TS-239 Pro II+ is a 'middle of the range' 2-bay NAS that has Time Machine support:

Mac users can back up data from MacBooks to the NAS via Time Machine. This feature largely saves the storage space of your MacBooks. You can also specify the storage space dedicated to Time Machine backup on the NAS and manage the backup data easily via the web-based administration interface.

I expect the more expensive QNAP's to be the same, and also the cheaper ones (e.g. the TS-219P+) as they all run the same custom Linux.
