TimeMachine is pretty cool for backing up a MacOS X but I'm not willing to shell out money for hardware like AirPort Extreme as my network is not an Apple [orchard] monoculture. Besides with most of appliances featuring the Apple logo I hit the limit pretty soon as I want to tweak things to fit my network.

But there is help on the way. The good guys at Netatalk have built in TimeMachine support for their AFP file server built-in since version 2.0.5 but for Lion support 2.2.2 or greater is required.
