I am now getting the message "The network backup disk does not support the required capabilities." The backup disk is a TrueNAS partition. It has been working for a year and in fact, it worked just yesterday but the backup didn't finish. The last successful backup was 2/26. I have it backing...

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...
