TerraMaster Forum

Newly purchased F2-212, I have completed the initial configuration successfully, and am able to connect to the unit and manually copy large files successfully.
Time Machine sees it as an available drive, connects to it, and starts the backup process. But it will not complete it. I have tried afp and smb. A file is created on the 212, but again, will not complete the backup. I’ve been fighting it for a couple weeks now.

F2-212 is running 5.1.37
Mac is an M1 iMac, on Sonoma

I am also backing up to a Time Capsule, which is still running brilliantly, I might add. I was hoping this Terra Master NAS would replace it so I am not running on borrowed time…

Same problem with OS Sequoia 15.0.1 and F2-221 TOS 5.1.145-00012 I've been fighting with it for weeks but it seems unsolvable. I'll try to set permissions from ssh

I have not been able to resolve this, but have also not spent time on it lately.

Since you've tried both AFP and SMB, have you considered testing the backup with a direct Ethernet connection?

Superusers cannot perform Time Machine backup through AFP file service. You need to create
or use another administrator for Time Machine backup.

You are correct. That is not the problem in my case.

I have not.

Have now tried direct ethernet connect, still fails. I have tired two different CAT6 cables.

Hello,
I'm facing the similar issue. After few minutes TimeMachine stops working.
