rctneil Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hey, I have Time Machine set up and have configured as i've read in a couple of other topics but it's really never been very reliable. I've just opened Time Machine, told it to start a backup and it looks for the disk and then comes back with the following error: Is anyone able to help me troubleshoot it and make it locate the drive automatically and backup more consistently. Currently TM can't even locate the drive. My settings for the TM share are: Allocation Method: Fill up Split level: Manual Do not split Included disks: Only one selected here Use Cache disk: No AFP Export: Yes Time Machine TM Size limit: 1000000 Security: Private AFP User Access: my normal user with R and W privileges SMB Export: No By the way, Unraid 6.6.0 in use here. I'd appreciate all help. Thanks, Neil Quote Link to comment

rctneil Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Still no one knows how to help me? I really would like to get this sorted and get my machine backing up via Time Machine speedily and reliably. Anyone from @limetech, maybe? Thanks, Neil Quote Link to comment
codechimp Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I am getting the same issue, but only after having recently updated to Mojave, before that it was working fine. Quote Link to comment
rctneil Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Please someone? I thought this was the best place to get support with Unraid? @limetech ? Quote Link to comment

I'm probably not the best to help with this. I gave up on TM a while back and find Carbon Copy Cloner to be much more reliable. Are you sure this is an unRAID problem? Have you tried mounting the unRAID share first and then running TM? Did you set a volume db path in the AFP share settings? Quote Link to comment

Thanks, Neil I have mine set to a cache only share. Here’s a good example- https://forums.unraid.net/topic/58164-help-with-shares-mac-os/?do=findComment&comment=570501 Have you tried the other suggestions? Often when TM would start acting up I’d have to reconfigure the backup location to the same location. Quote Link to comment
40foot Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I have not only this Time Machine connection problem since upgrading to Mojave, much worse: I am totally unable to connect to any of my shares (be it SMB or AFP) altogether from macOS Mojave. Seems to be a bug with Mojave (I get "smb_fid_get_kernel_fid: No SMB 2/3 fid found for..." errors. Anyone ever heard of something similar? Quote Link to comment

Mine is working fine before and after Mojave update are you using a disk share that is how i'm setup also I excluded disk 4 under global share settings and have enabled disk share set to auto Quote Link to comment
rctneil Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Mine seems to be running much more reliably over the past couple of weeks. I'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment

If you want to investigate your problem or start afresh with Time Machine, here's my best advice on the subject: Quote Link to comment
