Hello All -
Running into a bit of a strange issue - I have time machine backups working fine. My FreeNAS for time machine is configured in the following manner:
All this works and the computers are all backing up fine to FreeNAS, no issues there.
A problem is apparently introduced when I am attempting to use a windows program called "Arq" to access the network share via SMB to retrieve and backup all the timemachine files for each computer and upload it to Amazon Cloud Drive.
If I attempt to share the same dataset by creating a SMB share - the file transfer is very slow and doesn't capture all the files.
Any recommendations on best practices to accomplish this?
Thanks
Running into a bit of a strange issue - I have time machine backups working fine. My FreeNAS for time machine is configured in the following manner:
- Each apple machine has its own user configured under Accounts -> Users in FreeNAS (Example: iMac001)
- The primary group of each of these users is assigned to a group called "timemachine"
- The dataset under storage has an owner of root and a group of timemachine, permission type is unix
- the dataset has been configured under sharing as an AFP share with the timemachine checkmark box checked
All this works and the computers are all backing up fine to FreeNAS, no issues there.
