    I'm just going to switch back to using a USB hard drive since Catalina and Time Machine over the network is too unreliable and slow. 

    In my case, it was definitely specific to Unraid 6.8.x, even in Mojave. I had held off upgrading both for a while and did the Unraid 6.8 upgrade first.

    Switching Case-Sensitive Names to 'Yes' on my Time Machine user shares seems to have solved most of it here. My large (~2.6 TB) backups are completing normally again. No other changes.

    I've been using authenticated SMB since the start, and also created a completely new share (again). Time Machine will write a few hundred GB of its initial backup, but seems to get slower as it goes. By the time it reaches 1 TB, after 4-5 days, it's crawling. It had been working perfectly with 3 TB until Unraid 6.8, which I only recently upgraded to after waiting for any issues to show up. Heh.

     

    The only difference I can think of is that I'm using my main user to authenticate, same as for other shares. Did you create a new user just for Time Machine?
