What I wrote above lets you setup a network share time machine backup on a non time capsule drive. I've used it to setup backups to Thecus, Buffalo NAS *network* drives (NAS) without issues at clients. The drobo is a local usb drive, time machine works on usb without all the hoops to jump through above. What you linked to is a way to limit maximum backup size, not a way to enable network backups. I took a long hard look at the drobo previously, and in the end got a NAS. I wish Drobo would hurry up and release a proper networked version...

Its called "Time Tamer" and is available at drobo.com/droboapps -- don't worry, this will work with any hard drive, not just the Drobo.
