Time Machine really doesn't like using remote disks that aren't official Apple gear.
- kalleboo 3y agoEven when I had an Apple Time Capsule, it would break about once a year. It's just a flakey system. Wish they'd add the equivalent of zsend to APFS instead of using the weird "gigantic sparse disk image with hard links in it" system
- praseodym 3y agoWhen backing up to an APFS Time Machine volume it does work a bit like that, at least no hard links are used any more: - https://eclecticlight.co/2021/03/11/time-machine-to-apfs-understanding-backups/ https://eclecticlight.co/2021/03/11/time-machine-to-apfs-und... - https://eclecticlight.co/2021/04/16/time-machine-to-apfs-using-a-network-share/ https://eclecticlight.co/2021/04/16/time-machine-to-apfs-usi...
