Force Time machine to backup now.
Bah. Time machine is nice and all, but where is the "backup now" button eh? I know Steve doesn't like buttons (so much so that the manhatten apple store's lift doesn't have any - it just stops at every floor in turn) but come on. I'm reminded of other half implemented *nix gui's...
Anyhoo, this is the fela:

netatalk with encryption libgnutls13 error
So, trying to setup networked time machine on my lenny box, I followed a couple of guides that told me to compile netatalk with ssl enabled:
sudo apt-get build-dep netatalk sudo apt-get install cracklib2-dev fakeroot libssl-dev sudo apt-get source netatalk cd netatalk-2* sudo DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
then, once it was done drop down a folder and install all the debs:
cd .. sudo dpkg -i ./netatalk_2*.deb
but it didn't work, erroring with:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of netatalk: netatalk depends on libgnutls13 (>= 2.0.4-0); however: Package libgnutls13 is not installed.
The solution was to use the debi command instead of the dpkg command:
cd netatalk-2.0.3 sudo debi
oh, and dont forget to
echo "netatalk hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
here is the rest of the article i followed, with info on the avahi setup and the actual netatalk config
