As of now I have the backup against an SMB share (created using the above script) working on Sonoma. No issues.

Also, you will need to give cron Full Disk Access for the cron entry created by the above script to work: https://osxdaily.com/2020/04/27/fix-cron-permissions-macos-full-disk-access/

tmbackup.sh The above script is based on https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/scripts-for-timemachine-backups-over-smb-with-automounting-on/td-p/277978 It has to be run only once, as a regular user, but will ask for password for commands that require sudo, so make sure the user has Admin privileges set. Basically it will set up autofs to mount the SMB share and respective sparsebundle. Obviously, modify the script if required.

I stand corrected. This is not a solution.

You can specify alternative port: https://sleeplessbeastie.eu/2020/09/14/how-to-specify-custom-ssh-port-when-using-rdiff-backup/ I am going to try setting up a container since I need this too.

I've set it up using Community Applications plugin. It is running and listens on port 3689, but it does not seem to announce itself, so I can't see it in iTunes. Unlike Firefly server. What do I do to fix that?
