There was also a series of articles in RaspberryPi’s in house magazine MagPi on building one’s own Linux-based file server using a RaspbeeryPi (of course) and included how to set it up as a Time Machine (basically using SAMBA). Being RaspberryPi based it includes hard-wired network connections.
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing!
Very interesting.
Related note - I have been using unRAID as a Time Machine backup target for a few years now. It’s been rock solid for me. I also run plex, use it as a file share, and other uses. Highly recommend unRAID. Prior to that I used a Synology NAS (too expensive and too slow) and Ubuntu servers (required a lot of maintenance and admin).
