dahlenu Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've not been able to do a backup with Time Machine to a user share. It works fine to a disk share. If I mount afp://server/disk14 and point Time Machine to "disk14" it works, but if I create a user share "TM" with only disk14 included and mount as afp://server/TM and point Time Machine to "TM", the backup fails after a couple of GB. I'm using unRAID 5b14. In both cases I export AFP as "Yes (Time Machine)" with security "Private" and disable SMB export. Anyone with similar experience who have found a workaround/fix?

speeding_ant Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Works well for me, however I've got it limited to one hard drive. Unsure if the sparseimage will work if distributed amongst over drives. Quote Link to comment
Brian B. Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm experiencing the same thing. TM to a user share fails after a few days. TM directly to a disk share has been working mostly great (10.7 would not "see" the disk until my 10.6 machine saw and successfully started backing up to it, then 10.7 said it was a valid backup device.) The backup on a user share failed during the verify phase, and I'm now seeing significant file corruption issues on other user shares, which I'll write up in a separate post a little later when I have more testing and data.
