They do support external drives but not network drives. I have a 3 TB external drive attached to my MBA that backs up just fine.

Ugh, sorry. Not sure if that was always the case and I've mis-remembered or there's been a change but my NAS point remains. Personally, I'd rather not faff around with an external drive plugged directly into my laptop.

Edit: typo

Makes sense. Mine is connected through a thunderbolt display so I only have to make/break one connection.
