- ndegruchy 9mo agoI would try to do some restores of random files. Kind of a "canary in the coal mine" test. If you have problems with restoring some files or folders, then you'll have a problem with doing larger restores.
- _rs 9mo agoI agree - I am running my own Samba server and I don't think I'm affected, but it isn't really clear to me how to double check or why Apple's new default broke things in the first place
- jcynix 9mo agoYou could create a timestamp file on your Mac, where your Mac adds a timestamp per day or hour and have a script check that the timestamps appear in your backup.
- rcarmo 9mo agoHi! OP here. In my case Time Machine stopped doing backups to the server, period, and would keep silently refusing to do so. I encourage you to check backups are happening.
- H8crilA 9mo agoThanks - I can see why you skipped writing this, backups not happening at all is obviously a failure :). At least if you ever look there ...
