[X4U] How do I back up _from_ an AirDisk?

[Andrew Lynch]

Hi Neil,
   Thanks for the response, but what I really want is to take  
advantage of the incremental backup/space management features of  
TimeMachine.  What I want is for Time Machine to recognize the mounted  
drive (I already have it in my login items for iTunes to access) and  
do the backup for me, along with the locally installed drives it  
already backs up.

Cheers,
    Drew
