![]() ![]() At the time of writing () you're in for a mildly rocky ride when trying to use Samba because you have to do a custom compile of Samba in the near-term (it will likely be next year that an appropriate pre-built Samba turns up by default in the periodic release Linux distributions). Having said all the above, you can also use Time Machine with an SMB server (such as Samba) if the SMB server advertises the correct options (see below). The HT208018 support article is trying to say: you can't do fileserving of files from an APFS volume to other Macs using AFP and further, you can't use a Mac APFS volume as the destination for a Time Machine backup (see for a detailed explanation). This caught out a number of people (including me). Confusion stems from ambiguous wording on :Īny Time Machine share points must be shared over SMB instead of AFP.
