Time Machine Can Now Backup to a Shared Hard Drive

http://lowendmac.com/zisman/08az/time-machine-shared-backup.html

Basically, the article says that if you have two Macs running 10.5.4 or higher, you can have an external harddrive attached to one Mac and use that connection via the network, you can use Time Machine to backup the other Mac over the network as long as as you enable sharing of this external drive over the network. The Mac that the external drive is attached to acts like a Time Machine server much like airport extreme.
