Time Machine now works with AirPort Extreme’s AirDisk feature

Who knows why it took so faraway, but the latest AirPort Extreme firmware update (7.3.1, out today) finally brings instance Machine compatibility to AirDisk. In typical Apple fashion, there’s no mention of it on the release notes, but the crew by at TUAW says it’s working, and commenters are confirming. We’re

still holding out for general NAS support, but for now, it looks like all you Airport Extreme owners who felt like you were getting played by the release of Time Capsule are finally in the game — get those USB drives ready for some hot backup nights.
