alt Hacker NewsTime Machine support has been working on TrueNAS Scale, just via one checkbox on a SMB share config, for years. I thought it was just something in a share config that was always there. Now I wonder how did they do it.

This never really worked for me. It would start a backup, very slowly send over a tiny amount of preliminary data, and then fail after several hours. I'm hoping the in-kernel support will get this working for me, but who knows...
It has been working on upstream Samba for years too, and it is just a couple of lines in smb.conf [1]
If Samba is built with mDNS support, that’s all you need, but it typically isn’t, so you also need to advertise the share using avahi-daemon or systemd-resolved on their respective configurations.
