I've searched the forums and haven't yet found this specific error. I have new mac mini which I'd like to act as the Time Machine server for my other macs. I've selected a specific folder to serve as the time machine back up location in the File Sharing Preference.
When I started my iMac's my very first back up to the designated Mac Mini hosted folder, it appears to connect and start backing up. But after a few minutes I get this error:
The network backup disk does not support the required capabilities.
I found a few posts suggesting that it maybe a conflict due to differing SMB versions between the Mac Mini and iMac. But after double checking, I was on version 3, which the posts said would solve this issue... sadly the issue persists.
Seeing how many folks have been able to make their Mac Minis' time machine servers in this forum, i'm surprised no one else has run into this as well. I'd love any advice. Thanks!
