I would look into using SMB over AFP, it has been deprecated by Apple.

And issue #9, where I've added in vfs fruit settings for better Final Cut Pro compatibility. It seems like it shouldn't be too hard with Samba (as @onedr0p mentioned above ;).
Right now I'm sending time machine backups to my ASUSTOR 12-bay NAS, and while that works, it's a bit of a waste of all that NVMe storage, and it also means I have an extra little box running 24x7 to take my Time Machine backups.
I'd like to maybe put one SSD or maybe a mirrored vdev of two SSDs into service as a Time Machine backup volume for my studio Mac. This blog post suggests using
netatalk
to enable time machine backups, and that seems the simplest way.Setup of the data pool and netatalk seems like it could be pretty simple:
Something like that—assuming the ZFS volume is mounted at
/backup/time-machine
in this case.
