Migrating AFP Shares Connecting Migrated Shares Since the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) for shares is deprecated and no longer receives updates, it is not in TrueNAS SCALE.
However, users can sidegrade a TrueNAS CORE configuration into SCALE, so TrueNAS SCALE migrates previously-saved AFP configurations into SMB configurations.
Migrating AFP Shares To prevent data corruption that could result from the sidegrade operation, in TrueNAS SCALE, go to Windows (SMB) Shares, select the more_vert for the share, then select Edit to open the Edit SMB screen.
Setting Up a Basic Time Machine SMB Share Creating the Dataset for the Share Modify the SMB Service Create the Basic Time Machine SMB Share SCALE uses predefined setting options to establish an SMB share that fits a predefined purpose, such as a basic time machine share.
Setting Up a Basic Time Machine SMB Share To set up a basic time machine share:

Configuring an iSCSI Share Tutorial Video Adding an iSCSI Block Share Before you Begin iSCSI Wizard iSCSI Manual Setup Creating a Quick iSCSI Target Starting the iSCSI Service To get started with iSCSI shares, make sure you have already created a zvol or a dataset with at least one file to share.
Go to Shares and click Configure in the Block (iSCSI) Shares Targets window. You can either use the creation wizard or set one up manually.

File sharing is one of the primary benefits of a NAS. TrueNAS helps foster collaboration between users through network shares.
TrueNAS SCALE allows users to create and configure Windows SMB shares, Unix (NFS) shares, and block (iSCSI) shares targets.

Using Linux iSCSI Utilities and Service Using the iSCSI Share with Windows Connecting to and using an iSCSI share can differ between operating systems.
This article provides instructions on setting up a Linux and Windows system to use the TrueNAS iSCSI block share.
Using Linux iSCSI Utilities and Service In this section, you start the iSCSI service, log in to the share, and obtain the configured basename and target. You also partition the iSCSI disk, make a file system for the share, mount it, and share data.
