I have a home network with several Macs. Now that I again have a dedicated Mac serving as a Time Machine backup repository, I am trying to set this up on an individual Time Machine client, which I want to get backed up to the server. All computers involved are running Ventura.
The server is a 2017 21½-in iMac. It has a 9 GB RAID attached to it through USB3. I am sharing a folder in that RAID volume’s root directory.

When I try to connect to the share from my 2021 MacBook Pro, even after successfully authenticating, I get this:

It says (this is for search engines): “There was a problem connecting to the server ‘server.local’. The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again.” The thing is, I selected the share from a list of shares offered to me. I know, that the share exists:

Is this a bug?
When I connect to the Internal SSD share, which is not a Time Machine share, and navigate to the logged-in user’s folders, they are all devoid of files. At least, I can connect to the share.
