With the death of the Time Capsules I've been looking for alternate centralized backup solutions. I had a USB3 RAID enclosure laying around so I bought some new WD drives for it and then tried to find a way to get it onto my local network. I found this cheap little guy on Amazon (SSK Wireless...

I have a SMB connection to my NAS. In MacOS Mojave, but also in older MacOS/OS-X versions, I often get the message "The specified network name is no longer available". Often I don't get this message, but the connection is always broken after some time. This is annoying, for example when I want...

Hi all, I'm copying files from mac to mac over an SMB mount. Ever since 10.14 my procedure kept copying the same files, because all files copied since 10.14 seemed to be older than my source files. I found that since Mojave the time of the files copied is cut down to whole seconds, so a file of...

Hi. macOS 10.14.2 MBP I can see my LAN connected Ubuntu 14.04 server inside the Network section of Finder. However I don't see my Windows 7 shares (several PCs). These PCs are connected to the same LAN. On other Windows 7 machines inside the LAN, I see all (Windows 7 shares and the Ubuntu...

So I have a problem with my NAS just giving me around 10-15MB/s write and ~20MB/s read. This is a WD EX2 with two WD RED 4TB discs. I've done a lot of troubleshooting, but now I'm completely lost. Connecting the unit directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable gives speeds of over 100MB/s, so...

Hi All, I have a macOS Mojave mac mini running as a "server". Every few days it locks up and has to be physically powered off and back on. I can see no obvious problems in any logs. What's the best way for me to start diagnosing this? Many thanks, Gary

I have a Mac Mini upstairs in my house that I occasionally log into for file sharing (mostly it runs Plex and iTunes for my AppleTV). When I first set up the Mini, I gave the admin account the username HOME_SERVER. I had issues with logging into it remotely so I decided to simplify the admin...

I have a client who has a handful (6) of Mac Pro machines running mostly Adobe CC and have been connected to a Mac server (Mac Mini running Sierra and Mac Server app) for a number of years. Lately, nothing but issues with users losing access to their own files and not being able to open each...

I eventually managed to automount my NAS share on my MBP with macOS High Sierra. Since it's the MacBook that I take to work I need to have the shares remounting automatically when I come back home. This is so far how I implemented it: /etc/automaster # # Automounter master map # +auto_master...

Hi all, I've been using a Time Capsule with Time Machine for backups for the last forever, but I'm getting ready to upgrade it to a bigger drive, as I have several computers all backing up to the same disk (and, in any event, I have a sneaky suspicion the drive is about to fail). I'm...

Does anyone else have a Distributed File System (DFS, its a Microsoft technology for distributed file sharing) server that they can access in High Sierra? With 10.13.1, I generate a kernel panic the instant I attempt to access/copy a file from a DFS share. It is unfortunately VERY repeatable...

One of set Time Machine destinations is SMB share in LAN. Is there any way to prevent Time Machine from saving credentials for that network share in keychain and to force Time Machine to ask user for those credentials every time Time Machine needs to know those?

Is there any way to maintain manually for Time Machine more than one sparse bundles (in case here: 2) on same network share? SMB as protocol is used. In one of those 2 sparse bundles Time Machine backups are stored (one single Mac, 10.9 only) which were generated last (appx) 3 years. This...
