Re: Getting Amanda (3.5.1) to run properly under MacOSX 10.15
Time Machine is built into current Mac OSes. It wants its own disk, which should be a bit (or a lot) bigger than the one you are backing up. I don’t think it can backup to another machine. It works well, since it’s baked in. Deb > On Jun 8, 2023, at 10:36 PM, Robert Heller wrote: > I know nothing about "Time Machine".

We use Time Machine at work to back up Macs to a Samba share, so yes. It is user-operable, and you can restore from the rescue system for desaster recovery. I replaced backup to TSM with Time Machine (modernish macOS does not allow full disk access for command-line applications, which made scheduled backups impossible), and am very happy with it. You can also use netatalk to setup an Apple file share - I've had better luck with that than CIFS, but maybe support for that has improved since last I checked. -- Orion Poplawski he/him/his - surely the least important thing about me IT Systems Manager 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/ smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

I did some poking around, and it looks like I could automount a NFS file system as well.

Take a look at the Debian package tmfs. https://github.com/abique/tmfs I haven't used it. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
