    Has anyone had a chance to mess around with Time Machine and network drives (Linux + SAMBA) with the new Mountain Lion OS? I was never really comfortable with using hacks on Snow Leopard to get network backup going...especially since this is a production machine with a lot of important documents.

    I haven't had any issues with my NAS (AFP share with 1 drive for time machine and another for files). Haven't tried iSCSI or anything else yet though, but I don't think much was changed in this respect from Lion to Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard to Lion was a much bigger change and required quite a lot of tweaking.
