Is that 5% number real or your estimate?

  Yeah, it sounds a bit high to me.

    People with laptops that don't want to be attached to a dongle for storage when there's the Internet sounds like < 5% to you?

      The original post was about people who backup to a local server, not over the internet.

  It's a hand-waved estimate, but let's recognize that Apple actively plans on killing support for NAS targets for Time Machine: > Time Machine backup to NAS devices over Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) is not recommended and won't be supported in a future version of macOS. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102423 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102423

    But that's AFP, not SMB. SMB is the future. [edit, that sounds sad].

    AFP is what's deprecated, not Time Machine over networks. They just want you to use SMB.

      Acknowledged. Thanks for pointing that out.
