Interesting.  I was also looking at the info page on "Time Machine" and it
mentions backing up to another Leopard Mac with Personal File Sharing,
Leopard Server, or XSan.  So far all of this seem to indicate that while you
can do it, you have to do it to Apple Hardware/Software.  

I've been hoping to use a very low power Linux box and a RAID card to build
my own NAS device.  Unfortunately, it sounds like that probably won't work.
