Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS

HUGELY important note that needs to be added to the Time Machine instructions - disable any antivirus scanner. I have Sophos Antivirus installed, and was seeing throughput of .1 MB every 10 minutes (no exaggeration) after only a few minutes of backup, such that after 5 hours of backup, I had only 173.1 MB backed up of 35 GB. I disabled Sophos, and right now am averaging 100 MB every few seconds, so the difference could be an order of magnitude. I got the idea from this link: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=379066 For those wondering why I am running antivirus, this is a machine owned by my employer, a state university, and they require it. I do understand that the idea of "Mac virus" is somewhat laughable right now :). Please add this ASAP, it would have saved me lots on medical bills for the ulcer I developed trying to figure this out. Thanks, Greg P.S. in the time it took me to write this, I went from about about 200 MB to 3.3 GB backed up. This is more like it.

Thanks for the info Greg! I will pass on this info for you.
