Time Machine Failed #1

I got this message:

Time Machine completed a verification of your backups on “Time Capsule”. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.

Click Start New Backup to create a new backup. This will remove your existing backup history. This could take several hours.

Click Back Up Later to be reminded tomorrow. Time Machine won’t perform backups during this time.

Im not sure how related to your repo, but I figured I would start an issue incase anyone else had the issue, I'm going to try some of the other time capsule docker images to see if they are any different

I have this issue occasionally. This is due to the backup image becoming corrupt such that Disk Utility can't fix it. It seems this would most likely happen when rebooting the machine running the container during a backup. I'm not certain of the fault tolerance of netatalk. I am really interested in others that have this problem. On my install I do find netatalk sometimes stops accepting connections. I have a script that restarts the container, so in this case I may be hurting myself.

Upgraded to netatalk 3.1.9. There are a few ways to run the CNID database. The server-based is supposed to have a near-zero chance of corrupting the DB, and this is the default. Comment on whether this version is working better.
