Computer A runs my samba server. Has unix extensions = off, wide links = on (don't think this one matters with unix extensions off...) This way, if I have a symlink on my shares, clients see it as a normal file, not as a symlink. This works fine, even for symlinks to files outside the shares paths. Except when the symlink points to a file that is on a CIFS mount. So say I have computer B

I am an old UNIX and Mac hand but new to samba. My ultimate aim is to use a samba share with Time Machine. I have built an up to date version of samba (4.9.2) which has the necessary support for Time Machine and installed it on my linux system (ubuntu 18.04), and I have it sharing a volume which I can mount from my Mac. A good start ;) The problem is that I get permission errors whenever I try

Hi, I configured Samba 4.8.5 on Debian (Buster) with vfs_fruit as a TimeMachine destination and while it detects it and does the initial backup to some extent (30GB out of 200GB), TimeMachine then fails with a message about the disk identity having changed. Options are “don’t backup” and “backup anyway”. When using “backup anyway”, the backup creates a secondary sparse image and starts from

Hi, tl;dr - Samba 4.8.5 broke macOS's Time Machine support (at least for me), patching in the "follow-up patch" from https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13441 makes it work again. It would be great if it could be included in an official patch release soon. :) Just writing about the problem and solution here, in case someone else stumbles upon it. Couldn't find any

I configured Samba 4.8.5 on Debian with vfs_fruit as a TimeMachine destination and while it detects it and does the initial backup to some extent (300GB out of 600GB), TimeMachine then fails with a message about the disk identity having changed. Options are “don’t backup” and “backup anyway”. When using “backup anyway”, the backup creates a secondary sparse image and starts from scratch, and won’t

I have now - the 'net view' output is now sensible, and reports "Time Machine for gac" (which is the expected comment). But in log.smbd, it is now looking for a folder called "/backups/timemachine/DOMAIN\username" so access to the share itself is still not working 18 Sep 2019, 11:54 by samba at lists.samba.org: > Have you tried to replace?%U in the path

Hello Kevin, Mac OS by default looks for TimeMachine volumes over AFP not CIFS-SMB… Like you, I experimented with Samba a couple of years ago to try to get it to work anyway. With a few modifications on the client’s part and some configuration on the Samba server I got it to work… but recovery only worked for clients that I had configured in advance… Recovery with the Mac OS tools (Migration

Is it possible to backup Mac OS devices through a Samba share on Samba 4.4.6 on Fedora 24 with Time Machine? I am able to successfully advertise the share through Avahi, connect to it in Finder, and read/write files. I am also able to see the share as a destination in Time Machine, but selecting it shows an error that "The selected network backup disk does not support the required

Hai, https://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/examples/ Here are 2 files for a time machine setup. An example config : samba-491-conf.txt And the timemachine.service file Get them and adjust your config. These are tested by other samba list users and they reported this works.

Dear all; I?m running smbd 4.9.5-Debian and I?m struggling to get Time Machine support to work. The server is running Debian Buster, and the client is macOS High Sierra. I can mount the share just fine on its own, but as soon as I tell Time Machine to ?Back Up Now?, it says ?Preparing Backup,? ?Looking for Backup Disk,? and then nothing. The little red exclamation mark tells me that "The

Hi knowledgable Samba folks, I have a Samba server (Ubuntu 18.04, with the packages from apt.van-belle.nl so that I can run recent versions of Samba with Time Machine). This box is configured to use Active Directory authentication as a domain member. Happy to share relevant parts of configuration if necessary, feel free to just ask. I have two shares that are configured to use %U username

Hi everybody! I have a QNAP at home running firmware 4.4.2.1273 and I have configured it with NFS (for my iMac and FireTV) and SMB access (standalone server, for Win10 and iPhone/iPad Files access) Everything went fine till a certain point where many application would crash or behave in a very strange way when accessing SAMBA shares. Application can be Explorer++, OneCommander or File.app from

TL;DR: Time Machine cannot create a *new* backup on my shared drive, but can add to an *existing* backup. I'm running macOS Catalina and my Time Machine backs up to a Debian 10 server with NetAtalk and Avahi. Since Mavericks macOS has preferred SMB, and given SMB is marginally faster I decided to switch to using SMB for the Time Machine shares. On a fresh AFP share I can start a new Time

TimeMachine is NOT enabled in the official debian packages. If you want time machine, report it at debian as bug/request if you want this enabled, and untill then, You can use my packages, where timemachine is enabled. Or rebuild the the debian packages your self and enable it, that part only is very easy. + what Rowland told you. ;-) Greetz, Louis > -----Oorspronkelijk

Hello all, am considering setting up centos as a file storage/ backup destination for Mac's TimeMachine. all my users would get synced directly to specific folders on this machine.. needless to say space is of importance. where every user has an average 200 GB of data to b synced (entire system)... I have 27 users hence 27 *200 equals to almost 6 TB so I was considering getting either 4 *
