April 9Apr 9 This is how I fixed NATIVE Unraid TM backup if you dont want to use Docker for it and have the same problem as I hadUnraid 7.2.4 - MacOS 26.4
May 21May 21 Just migrated to new server and went pretty good. This docker appears to be the only one I'm having problems with. It failed to start on the first attempt. Started on the 2nd try but with no network. I assigned it to bridge but still can't connect for TM backups.Docker run-docker run -d --name='TimeMachine_multi' --net='bridge' --pids-limit 2048 -e TZ="America/Los_Angeles" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e HOST_HOSTNAME="Tower" -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="TimeMachine_multi" -e 'VOLUME_SIZE_LIMIT'='1 T' -e 'TM_USERNAME'='timemachine' -e 'PASSWORD'='timemachine' -e 'ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME'='timemachine' -e 'CUSTOM_SMB_CONF'='false' -e 'CUSTOM_USER'='false' -e 'DEBUG_LEVEL'='1' -e 'MIMIC_MODEL'='TimeCapsule8,119' -e 'EXTERNAL_CONF'='/users' -e 'HIDE_SHARES'='no' -e 'TM_GROUPNAME'='timemachine' -e 'TM_UID'='1000' -e 'SET_PERMISSIONS'='false' -e 'SMB_INHERIT_PERMISSIONS'='no' -e 'SMB_NFS_ACES'='no' -e 'SMB_METADATA'='stream' -e 'SMB_PORT'='445' -e 'SMB_VFS_OBJECTS'='fruit streams_xattr' -e 'WORKGROUP'='WORKGROUP' -e 'TM_GID'='1000' -e 'SHARE_NAME'='timemachine' -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/f/f4/Time_Machine_%28Apple%29_Logo.png' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/timemachine/':'/users':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/m1_miniSMB/':'/opt/m1_mini':'rw' --hostname timemachine 'mbentley/timemachine' 07309720e80e613b1d8aad5ca0da0ea5ca03f3b81f1932a4b4f3c0baed957844The command finished successfully!
June 11Jun 11 I just tried to setup a timemachine but I can not get the docker image to allow the mac to connect. I installed the image and left all options as they were, except for a user password. I ran the chown command on the respective share in Unraid. The timemachine target shows up fine and seemingly connects, but then it will hang on 'preparing to update' and in the docker's log it shows:```apply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for .com.apple.TimeMachine.iotest.59E70D2A-203D-4184-A322-D07F0CFD84D6 with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for .com.apple.timemachine.supported-43acf2b4-6c64-4d19-a734-89a4c792abf with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for .com.apple.TimeMachine.iotest.85161EDD-0BB5-4E41-BC95-9AB944D14EFE with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for .com.apple.TimeMachine.iotest.301AEF6F-C09E-4FCB-9CB8-DFE374038B49 with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for .com.apple.TimeMachine.iotest.92EAA595-2AA7-4E98-8F60-2566CE3AC712 with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for .::TMPNAME:D:69%7600723868103047867:voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/.::TMPNAME:D:69%7600723868103047867:bands with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/Info.bckup with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/Info.plist with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/token with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/lock with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/.::TMPNAME:D:69%7600723868103047867:mapped with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for .com.apple.TimeMachine.iotest.FFECB7B3-1DCB-41D5-BA76-3F33D3089094 with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/bands/0 with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/mapped/0 with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/bands/3a3 with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIEDapply_new_nt_acl: inherit_new_acl failed for voltarc 2026-06-11-102418.incomplete/mapped/3a3 with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED```What am I missing or doing wrong? ><
