October 10, 20232 yr Hi. I am a new unraid user. I set up time-machine as per instructions (the ability built in not an application). Backups work fine. Plenty of space on drive/share. However Time Machine only backs up a day or two. That is when going into Time Machine I can only access current day and maybe 1-2 day back, even if I backup every day for months. Please advise.
October 12, 20232 yr Hello, I have the same problems. The timemachine stops making backups. The backups you can see are the backups on your local mac computer. If I try to write on the SMB share from my macbook, everything is fine. I am trying now to use a drive share instead of a user share, as described here:
October 12, 20232 yr I am also trying to enter a extra configuration for SMB: [Global] vfs objects = fruit streams_xattr fruit:metadata = stream fruit:model = MacSamba fruit:posix_rename = yes fruit:veto_appledouble = no fruit:nfs_aces = no fruit:wipe_intentionally_left_blank_rfork = yes fruit:delete_empty_adfiles = yes [TimeMachineBackup] fruit:time machine = yes It is described here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_Samba_to_Work_Better_with_Mac_OS_X

Mac time machine works now fine. Its doing all backups and I can find old backups. Furthermore I changed: SMB multichannel: yes Enhanced MacOS interoperability: yes
October 25, 20232 yr Author Hi. So my issue does not seem to be mapping or that my MacBook can not make backups, it does. However, when I enter Time Machine I only see backups going back about 2-3 days, even if it has done backups for a long time... any help/tips on this would be really appreciated.
November 21, 20232 yr Many times, if you reboot your mac and try to access time machine again, it will be able to connect and show you more than 2-3 days. If you have a standard spinning drive for your network backups, you may need to wait up to a full minute before the additional days appear. Personally I opted for SSD+zfs
