I had a Time Capsule. It had the same issue with Time Machine rejecting the backup and requiring a re-do every year or so. (the Time Capsule ran NetBSD, I wonder what they used for a AFB/SMB stack. Did they port the macOS one over or use Netatalk/Samba?)

Time Machine over a network has always been unreliable.

Time capsule was apple’s wireless router with built in hard drive for backups (time machine)if people don’t know.

I had one too and reading this article was wondering how reliably that worked. (I think thankfully I only had to do some very minor “ get back previous file” on it. I remember it being slow..)

Bummer! Guess TM/network should be better abandoned…

It should be rewritten using APFS and some kind of APFS version of `ZFS send`

More likely is Apple launches a Mac cloud backup service because they are all about services revenue these days, not helping you do things locally.
