Warning: Apple Says macOS 27 Won't Support AirPort Time Capsule Backups

[urtules]

I was never able to get reliable operation of TimeMachine with external drives on Time Capsule.

What do you use instead?

What protocol does Synology use?

Speaking of Synology, I use my Synology NAS for my Wireless TM backup, and it has been rock solid thus far. Synology also plays nice with CCC.

Curious what problem you have with Time Machine over NAS. I use that and it has worked well. BTW, I use QNAP NAS

Not much, only backup volume corruption every few months. More likely to occur when the network connection breaks mid-backup. It's enough to make me stop network-based Time Machine and go back to USB hard drives.

What do you use instead?

I used the (old and small) internal drive for years... and I switched to Synology recently for my MacBook while the Mini has an SSD connected for that purpose.

Right Time Machine isn’t going away.
