Timemachine setup

I have used timemachine setup several times but now I get the following error message “Apple SMB2/3 protocol extension support is required by this parameter. This feature may be enabled in the general SMB server configuration.”

What can I do to fix this?

See documentation for SMB service: SMB Service Screen | TrueNAS Documentation Hub

Hi there. I just tried to setup a timemachine share, and also faced the same error: Apple SMB2/3 protocol extension support is required by this parameter. This feature may be enabled in the general SMB server configuration.

Either the “Purpose” of the SMB share must be “default share parameters” or if I choose “Basic Time Machine share” then it throws out this error.

@greinsch, did you manage to fix your error?

I also have the same issue…

Read the documentation for the SMB service. There’s a checkbox you need to check.

Thank you, sir.
I’ve found the checkbox in the “SMB → Config Service” page!
