Running 25.04, recent build. I created time_machine dataset and set up time_machine SMB share with Multi User Time Machine preset.

Thanks - I can’t see the private ticket so any follow up info after it’s evaluated would be appreciated. I will do periodic scheduled snapshots in the meantime.

Any update on this? Do we know if it’s fixed in 25.04.2.4?

However, when I look at the full changelog in the release notes at 25.10 (Goldeye) Version Notes | TrueNAS Documentation Hub that ticket does not appear on the list. Is there a way…

Just badging here to say this feature didn’t work for me either on 24.10.2.1. I have just set up tiered snapshots.
