Welcome to the BackMyFruitUp project

BackMyFruitUp adds netatalk (AFP) functionality to a DroboShare. In turn it also adds support for TimeMachine backups to a Drobo via a DroboShare. Effectively it allows for a TimeCapsule-like backup system to a NAS drive. This project is fully tested and stable.

Start with the SetupGuideVersion2.
