Present backup answer
I wish to migrate to a community backup answer. I at present have a TP-Hyperlink Archer AX50 AX3000 Wi-fi Twin-Band Gigabit Router that helps Time Machine backups over the community. (The router helps drives formatted as FAT32, exFat, NTFS, and HFS+ linked through USB.)
The issue is that Time Machine doesn’t see the drive regardless of how I’ve it formatted. (I’m utilizing a Maxtor 300 GB drive for testing in order to not lose my present backups.)
I’ve tried the next formatting:
| Format | Scheme |
|---|---|
| APFS | GUID Partition Map |
| APFS (Case-sensitive) | GUID Partition Map |
| Mac OS Prolonged (Journaled) | GUID Partition Map |
| Mac OS Prolonged (Case-sensitive, Journaled) | GUID Partition Map |
| Mac OS Prolonged (Journaled) | Grasp Boot Report |
| Mac OS Prolonged (Case-sensitive, Journaled) | Grasp Boot Report |
| ExFAT | Grasp Boot Report |
| Mac OS Prolonged (Journaled) | Apple Partition Map |
| Mac OS Prolonged (Case-sensitive, Journaled) | Apple Partition Map |
I can entry the shared drive through SMB by shopping the Community and connecting to the server utilizing the IP deal with. When I attempt to add the drive within the Time Machine settings, it says “No Out there Time Machine Locations”.
I’ve even linked the drive to my MBP through USB and formatted it from throughout the Time Machine settings then unmounted the drive and linked it to the router; it’s nonetheless not seen.
Beforehand on a whim, I had formatted a flash drive to check out if I may get a community backup answer, and that labored (although it was a number of months again).
What step(s) am I lacking that’s not permitting Time Machine to see the drive?
