I'm trying to configure a Time Machine share. I've followed the guide, however I'm still not seeing mDNS announcements from FreeNAS for _adisk._tcp.local. I was under the impression from the doc that when you check TIME MACHINE on the share, that this will "enable" these mDNS annoucements...

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help. Here's my specs: I have two different machines I'm using to try to connect: 2018 Macbook pro running MacOS Mojave (10.14) 2017 iMac running MacOS Sierra (10.12) Self-built Freenas system: Motherboard: Supermicro X10SRi-F Processor: Xeon E5-1620 v3...

I am running a FreeNAS server (FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE) on a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 10 (8GB ECC-RAM, Intel NIC, 4TB mirrored WD Red disks) but I am finding pretty slow performances during Time Machine backups through wi-fi. I have tried to test the connection speed using iPerf3 and it's enough...

Hi all, I'm working through a number of issues that have emerged after upgrading from FreeNAS 9.10.2 to 11.1. I've had Time Machine backups running for a few years very reliably. Since upgrading to 11.1, TM backups work occasionally, but mostly I get a "TM share can't be found" error. When this...

I noticed interesting behavior: 1. My freenas 11.1 was working fine, I have AFP shares for macs and SMB for Windows machines 2. I've successfully set up Time Machine, and got my machine backed up Then.. * AFP shares disappeared from Finder. I now see Windows (SMB) shares. * I am able to...

I have a problem trying to copy many years worth of Time Machine backups from the local hard disk across to the new FreeNas based time capsule. Copying fails with "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup". Using Time Machine from two different macs (OS 10.11 "El-Capitan" and 10.6...

Hi community, I've setup an awesome (my perspective) Freenas for TimeMachine and I'm running into an issue. I keep getting a "no free space" issue. It happens after an initial backup with TM. My settings for the share's were set up with the wizard. I have also setup share's manually just to...

I setup a OS X Time Machine backup for my MacBook Pro about a year ago and now need to restore from that backup. The problem is, when I try to connect to it, I get the Message: Time Machine can't access the backup disk "OSXBackup". The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 2.) I...

Hi, I have 25 Macs backing up to my FreeNAS connected to the switch via 10Gbe SFP. Should I have a dedicated VLAN for backups?

Hi gang! I would so appreciate some advice/recommendations on how to setup my drive pools to work with TimeMachine Backups + Windows Backup + Plex Server + File storage. *Annnd if it's not to crazy have some GPU's mining coin. *note that the mining is more of a "in a perfect world" wish and...

Кто сталкивался с такой проблемой. При настройке afp шары для использования в time machine, в меню выбора диска доступный диск становится только тогда, когда перед этим предварительно примонтировать его в систему по afp протоколу. Хотя раньше такой проблемы не наблюдалось и в списке были...

Hi there, I have had my trusty FreeNAS server working well for several years now - it handles most tasks and used to be my time machine server for my Mac too. However at the beginning of this year the Time Machine backups suddenly started working after I updated to 9.10.2-U2. In spite of...

As it says in title, I wonder what software are recommended to use at the Windows 10 platform to do automatic backups to the FreeNAS server. Is it possible to set it and forget it, and then have a similar service as the Apple's time machine? I am talking about if it is possible to having it...

Hi, I found this script: https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup It claims to make time machine style backups using rsync, which is exactly what I'm looking for. However, I'm not quote sure if I can install it in the base FreeNAS OS drive using GIT: git clone...

I know if you have one Time Machine share and put a quota on the Dataset, the clients will start dropping the older backups as the HDD becomes full (or quotas reach the limits). What happens if there are multiple Time Machine shares on the same box, with quotas adding up to more than the actual...

I had this working but it stopped and I'm not sure why. What are the correct Dataset and Sharing permissions so that I can authenticate with my Windows Domain user name/password to access my Time Machine share? For my Dataset permissions, I have: Apply owner: checked Owner (user): nobody Apply...
