Have they, by chance, also fixed the issue where MacOs' SMB implementation is unusably slow when copying many small files? A backup of my 2TB MacBook literally

  What I have done to maintain the integrity of my Time Machine backups (to UnRAID, via SMB): For the "sparsebundles break" issue: * Back up to multiple targets. I use both mbentley's Time Machine Docker image (only one backup per source machine) and UnRAID's built-in Time Machine functionality (multiple backups of same machine allowed). * Use spaceinvader1's macinabox Docker image to have a local way to `fsck_apfs` the above sparsebundles. * When one irreparably breaks, delete it and replace it with a copy of a working one from another of the above targets. For the "backups are incredibly slow" issue: * One of the above targets is to an SSD. * Use TheTimeMachineMechanic's "Speed" option after a backup to determine the slow spots. Look at patterns in "Current:" lines. Pumping the output to an LLM is very helpful here.
