大家是如何使用 Time Machine 的？

刚刚又尝试了一下，如果大家身边有可用的服务器的话，也可以将其作为time machine的备份介质。这样的话，可以免去一直插着移动硬盘的烦恼。配置过程十分简单，整理如下：

On Ubuntu Server

• Install the needed packages:

sudo apt update sudo apt install netatalk avahi-daemon 

• Edit the netatalk config file: sudo vim /etc/netatalk/afp.conf and Add a section for your Time Machine:

[Time Machine] path = /srv/timemachine time machine = yes 

• Create a directory to act as the Time Machine drive:

sudo mkdir -p /srv/timemachine sudo chown nobody:nogroup /srv/timemachine sudo chmod 777 /srv/timemachine 

• Allow the firewall port used by netatalk:

sudo ufw allow 548 

• Restart netatalk: sudo service netatalk restart

On macOS

• Test the connection with your Ubuntu server in Finder. The username and password on Ubuntu server are required for connection.
• If everything is fine, you can select the Ubuntu server as the backup disk in Time Machine settings.
