Hi David, I use Time Machine (for the System disk) as well as Bacula on my Mac, as I'd still need the Time Machine backup to do a bare-metal restore (with Apps). I use Bacula to back up this and an external data drive.
Rather than purchasing a separate "Time Capsule", I set up Samba on a Linux VM to expose an SMB share that the Mac sees as a Time Capsule drive (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_Samba_to_Work_Better_with_Mac_OS_X). I had one problem with Time Machine a few months ago, where it stopped backing up data and insisted on starting the backup 'chain' from scratch again. I was a little miffed 🙂. I'm afraid I can only confirm that the Bacula v9.6 and v11 file daemons worked for me under macOS Catalina and Monetery (I skipped Big Sur. Not for good reason---just laziness). Both v9 and v11 clients were compiled from source (setting the linker flags to "-framework CoreFoundation" as already suggested). I've personally not run in to problems with System Integrity Protection, although I do give the bacula-fd executable "Full Disk" permissions. Thanks. -- Graham Sparks From: David Brodbeck <brodb...@math.ucsb.edu> Sent: 03 January 2022 18:36 Cc: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net <bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Packet size too big (NOT a version mismatch) I'm curious if anyone has moved away from Bacula on macOS and what alternatives they're using. Even before this, it was getting more and more awkward to set up -- bacula really doesn't play well with SIP, for example, and running "csrutil disable" on every system is not a security best practice.

That did not appear to be the cause of this issue, though perhaps it will fix a yet to be found issue that I would have run into after I get past this compilation error.

In general yes, the code is designed to support Old FDs but can have problems with newer FDs. In your case it may work. At least, you can try a status client to see if the problem is solved and if you can run a backup & a restore.
