Package: samba
Version: 2:4.7.3+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
I was searching for support for using Apple's (proprietary) Time Machine
MacOS backup system over the network to a Debian system.
In the past Time Machine used Apple's AFP and people were successful
using the netatalk software (with some tweaks on the client) to make
this work.
But I just found this forum post that indicated that Apple is moving
away from AFP and to SMB instead,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/30723500#message30723500
The thread indicates that Apple has talked to the samba project about
what is needed to support this. I searched and I found this upstream bug,
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12380
So it's coming in 4.8!
This is a wishlist bug to help others that might be looking for the same
info. I'd love to help test this once 4.8 goes into
experimental/unstable, maintainers please let us know when people can
help test.
Thanks,
