might be smarter to try mounting the drive on the path that backups use, instead of hoping that the software follows symlinks.

That said, we're very much in "power user" territory now, and it does nothing to support the untethered use-case that Time Machine allows.

In fact, the real punch of my comment before was that this would be a way of selling additional hardware (the old time-capsules) to consumers.
