Hi,
I've been using Time Machine for many years on FreeNas. It migrated to TrueNas without much problem. Today, for other reasons, I had to create a new pool and a new share for my Macs Time Machine backups.
I the past I used to create just one share and point all machines to that share. Each of those machines would create their sparsebundle and more recently I saw it have created a dataset.
Today, I wasn't able to create just one share and let the Macs do their thing. I have 3 machines, two High Sierras and one Catalina. The Catalina one was the first and was able to use the share and create it's dataset without me needing to do anything else. For the High Sierras it was not the case. It refused to connect, with permissions errors (that's my understanding). I had to create a dataset and a TM share for each machine and give the right permissions to be able to make it work.
Is it by default/design ? Is it possible to have just one share for all Machines ?
Thanks in advance
