AirPort Firmware 7.3.2 – Will it Float Time Machine?

Let the testing begin! Go run AirPort Utility and update your base station (or Time Capsule) to firmware 7.3.2.

Now, the question remains (as it has with the past two updates), will this patch fix TIme Machine backups via AirPort Disk?

Historical Recap:

As you may know, and as I’ve crusaded here… Apple told people that Leopard would support Time Machine over the AirPort Extreme’s USB port, only to pull the rug out from everyone (after they had bought the base station in preparation for Leopard). And, then came Time Capsule… and the backlash.

Apple then offered an update to “enable” the feature… but that update had bugs, so then Apple declared it as an “unsupported” feature, and literally has refused to provide any information since. Great customer service Apple!

So, tonight, I’ll be trying again with Time Machine via AirPort Disk, and report back.
