In earlier versions of Mac OS you could enable TimeMachine to use Samba-Shares as a Backup-Target using this:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
and create a backup image with this script.
Sadly Time Machine now says that my drive does not support the necessary AFP protocol.
Is there a workaround for this?

Suspiciously named Msftguy has written a program that fakes the required AFP features for unsupported volumes. AFAIK this is currently the only way to use non-AFP volumes with 10.7 lion. Use at your own risk!
