ps6283113 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I have been using unraid as my time machine backup and it is one of the reason I bought this product. While checking the release note I noticed that AFP support has been removed. Request you to please add the support back if possible. Quote Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Very unlikely to happen as Apple itself has dropped AFP from the latest Mac OS Big Sur. You should be able to set up Time Machine to point to an SMB share. 1 Quote Link to comment

kizer Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 This video really helped me understand how to use Time Machine in unraid. 1 Quote Link to comment
DanTheMan827 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) This is still needed for time machine on macs running older operating systems! I have a couple old macs in the house that work best over AFP (OS 9 / early OS 10) Edited May 2, 2021 by DanTheMan827 Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 To be honest. I used to use Time Machine with unraid and then decided it didn't make sense overall for me. When my iMac 2011-2012 model had an issue it was looking for a USB drive of sorts and I couldn't get it to connect to the network to do a rebuild. Not blaming unraid because maybe I did it wrong when I was trying to restore and just opted for a fresh restore. So now I just use a USB drive and backup now and then and shelf the drive.

Russ Uno Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I'm know I'm a bit late to the game here but I finally upgraded to 6.9 this morning only to find after an hour of frustration trying to get my PVR (MacMini Running EyeTV) to connect that there is no AFP in 6.9. I've been using UnRAid probably 10+ years since V4 when we had to hack AFP to get it to work and just when I got everything working painlessly BAM! While the MacMini works with SMB, EyeTV does not. SMB is slow and Recordings are seriously bad some unwatchable with SMB while AFP recordings are flawless. Beyond that I tried to back up the Flash Drive with 6.9 to my Mac and I could not without errors get past 3 files. Luckily I was able to delete all the Files on The Flash and copy the backed up 6.8 files back to it and it worked again TG. Quote Link to comment

tjb_altf4 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) If you know your way around creating your own docker templates, you should be able to reinstate AFP functionality though docker if you really need to, e.g. https://hub.docker.com/r/cptactionhank/netatalk Edited November 15, 2021 by tjb_altf4 Quote Link to comment
PicPoc Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Is there anybody can make a docker ? I don't know how appleTalk works & how to make a docker for unraid. An unRAID docker for AFP will be really appreciate ! ;) Quote Link to comment
