I'm trying to backup the contents of my MacBook Pro wirelessly to an external hard drive that is connected to a Mac Mini in my living room. All the tutorials I've read say to create a sparsebundle file with the same name as the one that's found in the folder of your Time Machine backup.

I've used these instructions in the past and they've worked:

This all makes sense, but I can't find the sparsebundle file anywhere on my Time Machine drive.

Instead of a single sparsebundle file it's just a folder of my MacBook Pro's hard drive.

What's the deal?
