Time Machine over SMB

[José F]

Hi all,

I have a DNS323 with Alt-F 1.0 installed, running Timemachine over AFP, which has been working fine since I set it all up over a year ago.  I'm now getting the warning from Apple that future versions of MacOS will no longer support AFP network disks for Time Machine backups.

I searched and found this post:  https://groups.google.com/g/alt-f/c/NIxdV7yp6QE/m/MhVeZbaVAAAJ

I tried to follow the instructions/steps without success... I made the changes to the config files, ports, etc. but ended up breaking the AFP configuration but also not being able to add a new SMB Time Machine disk for my backups.  I have successfully reverted all my changes and I'm back to having the backups work over AFP without issues.

Does anyone have a step by step set of instructions that could help me go from this known state to a configuration which would allow Time Machine backups over SMB?

Thank you in advance,

José
