All my Time Machine backups over AFP and SMB eventually results in a corrupted backup set. Have you experienced this at all?

- vondur 5y agoI've since moved over to using rsync and not time machine.
- katbyte 5y agoIs there anyway to tell if it’s corrupted without doing a restore?

- tonyedgecombe 5y agoMine has been fine so far although the way it works (mounted virtual disk) does make me slightly uncomfortable.
- yabones 5y agoTime machine seems to be very good at eating itself. I think the longest I've seen somebody keep it going is 2-3 years, after that it just rots. For those with a little techie know-how, I think the best solution is to rsync their home directory to a ZFS volume on a TrueNAS box and take periodic snapshots of that. Optionally replicate that volume somewhere else with different geology. Obviously not as convenient as Time Machine, but undoubtedly more robust and less likely to corrupt itself.
- plorkyeran 5y agoI've had no issues with Time Machine after about 9 years of continuous use. I've never tried to use the full-machine restore but I do restore individual files semi regularly.
