My laptop as soon as I close the lid drops the connection to the remote disk which causes macOS to force an fsck on the sparsebundle image the next time it's mounted. This method may only be effective for a desktop that never sleeps. much MUCH less than the 24+ hours it would have taken using the AFP share. Just started a fresh backup and off we go.Ībout 30 minutes in and already 21 GB backed up. Granted I have to make sure the share is mounted and the volume name doesn't change to get it to back up, I'll have to see if it's any faster.

I created a sparsebundle image and put it up in the SMB share then mounted the disk in Mac and forced TimeMachine to use it with a simple sudo command. Would love to get rid of AFP once and for all. Apple's documents says they only support SMB over the network for Time Machine. Over 24 hours to backup 2/3 of my 200 GB of data on the Mac.

I'm perfectly fine writing a script to fix it if unraid overwrites the stuff that makes this work, can you guys tell me how you got it figure this out? AFP is dreadfully slow to backup even over a 1 Gbps on Mac and 10.14 seems to have made it worse. When this segment is removed, it doesn't show up in time machine, but everything else works fine. The time machine share appears as an option for time machine, but when connecting to it, it fails to add it saying it doesn't support the right features. Is added into that file, the other shares disappear via SMB, and I can no longer access them. _adisk._tcp 0 dk1=adVN=TimeMachine,adVF=0x82 %h _smb._tcp 445 _device-info._tcp 0 model=Xserve _adisk._tcp 0 dk1=adVN=TimeMachine,adVF=0x82
