Service type is "Windows Share" (which is a bit unintuitive).
Server is the IP address of your Time Capsule.
Share is what tripped me up. It's the name of the name of the Time Capsule as it appears in your Mac's /Volumes directory. Note that this may not be how it shows up in the Finder. My Time Capsule shows up in the Finder as "Colin MacDonald's Time Capsule", but it's mounted as
/Volumes/Time Capsule Drive
. "Time Capsule Drive" (with spaces) was what I needed for the Share name.Folder should be "data". This is an existing directory on the Time Capsule drive. (If you look at the root directory for the Time Capsule when it's mounted, you'll also see a
.sparsebundle
file for each Mac you have backed up.)User Name is your username on the Time Capsule. It's probably the same as your username on your Mac. (You'll be prompted for the matching password later.)
Domain Name is "WORKGROUP".
Bookmark is optional. It just gives you a handy name for the folder in your file browser (Nautilus).
Once you've mounted the Time Capsule, it will show up in Nautilus as a share. This will be its root directory, not the "data" folder. If you created a bookmark, it will also show up in Nautilus, but it will point to the "data" folder.
Of course, since it's a Windows share, I lose my Linux file permissions when I copy things there, which limits its use as a backup drive. I expect there'll be another post when I get that figured out.
