How To Set Up AFP File Sharing On Linux for Use With Time Machine
How To Set Up AFP File Sharing On Linux for Use With Time Machine

Preface:
In past versions of Mac OS X, the built in backup tool, Time Machine was a lot less picky about where you back up your files to. You could even back up to a Samba file share if you enabled the "unsupported volumes" hack.
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
But that ended with Snow Leopard. Starting with the release of OSX 10.7 Lion, Apple started cinching down on where you could back up your system to, ostensibly for security reasons. Now, with Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", its gotten to the point where essentially the only places you can back up your system using Time Machine are either on another Mac OS X File Server or on an Apple Time Capsule. My assumption is that their intent is merely to bolster their hardware sales.
I dont know too many people who stay exclusively within the "walled garden" for all their computing needs. Certainly people with a lot more money to burn than me. But for a much more economical approach than shelling out around $300 for an over-glorified USB drive, you could just follow this guide to set up your Ubuntu file server to look and behave exactly like Time Machine would expect a real Time Capsule or Mac to.
Step 1: Install Netatalk
installing Netatalk, the open source Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) implementation is easy! The packages are already in the repos, which makes me wonder why its not enabled by default.
Install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install netatalk libc6-dev avahi-daemon libnss-mdns
Step 2: Configure /etc/nsswitch.conf
Once those packages are installed, there are actually five configuration files that need to be edited in order for the Macs on your network to access your AFP shares properly.
sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf
locate the line that reads
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
and add mdns to it so it now reads
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 mdns
press ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to exit.
Step 3: /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service
sudo nano /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service
paste the following code
<?xml version="1.0" standalone=no?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
<service>
<type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type>
<port>548</port>
</service>
<service>
<type>_device-info._tcp</type>
<port>0</port>
<txt-record>model=TimeCapsule</txt-record>
</service>
</service-group>
NOTE: Just for fun you can change the string "<txt-record>model=TimeCapsule</txt-record>" to the following devices to change how they appear in Finder on OSX:

Android SDK brings with itself the two most important tools needed for tweaking your Android phone, ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and Fastboot. Why do we need them? ADB and fastboot helps us install a custom recovery, which allows us to root our Android devices, install custom ROMs and perform many other system tweaks which are not otherwise possible. Lets get on with the tutorial on how to set up ADB and Fastboot for your Android phone so that you never have to go through USB drivers issues again when trying out a custom firmware. How to Set Up ADB and Fastboot with Android SDK on Windows:Here are the step-by-step instructions to set up ADB / Fastboot on your computer. Follow the steps carefully and make sure you read the tutorial once before actually performing it. Required:
Lets get started with the tutorial: Step 1 Download and Install Java Platform (JDK) from Java SE Software Development Kit (SDK) downloads. Once installed, proceed to the next step. Step 2 Download Android SDK (android-sdk_r20.0.1-windows.zip) from the Android Developers website. Preferably: Click on Other platforms and download the ZIP package file for Windows. Step 3 Extract the zip file anywhere in your computer. We extracted in D: drive. So now we have, D:android-sdk-windows. Step 4 Open SDK Manager and wait till it loads (fetches) all the packages. Step 5 Now only select two pakcages. Check Android SDK Platform-tools and Google USB Driver options. Uncheck everything else. Then click on the Install 2 packages
button. Step 6 Confirm the packages that you selected. Select Accept All and click the Install button. Step 7 Wait till the downloading finishes. Step 8 Once you get the following screen, this means all the packages have been successfully installed. Step 9 If you again go to the Android SDK folder (D:android-sdk-windows), you will see the following directories now. extras andplatform-tools are the most important ones that we need. ![]() Now that we have all the files, drivers and tools needed. We can proceed on setting up ADB for my Galaxy Nexus. In this part, we will tell you how to use the downloaded USB drivers to set up ADB. NOTE: USB drivers may be different for other Android phones. Step 10 Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone. If you dont know how to enable USB Debugging then follow these steps:
Step 11 Connect your Android phone to the computer and wait till your PC installs all the drivers it could. Most of the drivers would fail to install. Step 12 Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager. In the list, you will see your phone (it should be in Other Devices). Step 13 Right-click on it, and select Update Driver Software
Step 14 Select the second option from the following screen. Step 15 Again, select the second option from the next screen. Step 16 Select Show All Devices and click Next. Step 17 Click the Have Disk button. Now browse to D:android-sdk-windowsextrasgoogleusb_driver directory and selectandroid_winusb.inf. Click Open. Then click on OK. Step 18 You will be shown a list of Android drivers. Select Android ADB Interface and click Next. Step 19 Click Yes to the warning message. Step 20 Now wait till driver installation gets over. Click the Install button if you see the following warning message. Step 21 If you see the following screen now, Congratulations! ADB drivers are now successfully installed on your computer! ![]() Step 22 Now to verify ADB is working fine, go to the platform-tools directory (D:android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools). Step 23 Open Command Prompt. Hold Shift key + right-click anywhere in the folder and select Open command prompt here. Step 24 Type adb devices (without quotes) in the Command Prompt window and press Enter. Step 25 If you see the screen as in the screenshot below, you have successfully set up ADB on your computer for your Android phone. ![]() ADB is now installed and can be used anytime you want to install tweaks or perform ADB commands. We can proceed on setting up Fastboot for my Galaxy Nexus. In this part, we will tell you how to use the downloaded USB drivers to set up Fastboot. NOTE: Fastboot USB drivers may be different for other Android phones. Bootloader should be unlocked. If you are unsure, Google this up for your phone. Step 26 Disconnect your Android phone from the USB cable and turn it OFF. Step 27 Go to Bootloader / Fastboot mode now. To do so, Press and hold these buttons together: Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. Hold them till you see the Bootloader / Fastboot mode. Step 28 Connect your Android phone to the computer now and wait till your PC installs all the drivers it could. Step 29 Then, go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager. In the list, you will see Android 1.0. Now Repeat the Process from Step 13 to Step 25 once again and youre done!! Available link for download
