    Time machine support when AFP is removed from macOS?

    Using ConnectMeNow the mounting of the share has worked consistently and reliably. The opening of the sparse bundle however has worked often but not always. I've made the following changes which should improve the situation though it's too early to confirm it. I've changed the script to add a...

    Time machine support when AFP is removed from macOS?

    Of course there's still scope for Asus/Merlin (not sure which piece of software implements support for SMB) to make it as easy to use Time Machine over SMB than it currently is over AFP, but in the meantime those keen to get it to work can without any additional hardware (apart from a connected...

    Time machine support when AFP is removed from macOS?

    To get the share re-mounted and the sparse bundle re-opened for Time Machine to do its thing, I tried some mix of Automator and launch agent but didn't get that right. I then tried ConnectMeNow and that is doing the trick so far. (I found this software as free alternative of AutoMounter which...

    Time machine support when AFP is removed from macOS?

    Thanks to the pointers by @iTyPsIDg I now have my first backup over SMB going on. It took me several attempts to get there as there are a few gotchas. Key ones are that the disk image must be created locally and then copied to the SMB share, and the disk image can't be added via the Time...

    Time machine support when AFP is removed from macOS?

    Yes. However it's using AFP. (There are no stupid questions!) Indeed.

    Time machine support when AFP is removed from macOS?

    Unfortunately Time Machine does not see any SMB share, whether mounted or unmounted. Your NAS is likely using a different implementation of SMB as that of Asus/Merlin. I found a very old guide, from 2016, listing requirements Apple has for SMB to work with Time Machine: Time Machine over SMB...

    Time machine support when AFP is removed from macOS?

    In the recent macOS Sequoia 15.5 update, Apple has deprecated AFP: 'Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) client is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of macOS.' Currently Time Machine support works only over AFP as Time Machine does not see SMB shares. Is there a plan to support Time...
