As other readers have stated, you should upgrade to FreeBSD 12.3-RELEASE. I have a Dell PowerEdge T30 that I use as a file server for my SOHO network: 2022-02-05 13:35:36 toor@f3 ~ # freebsd-version; uname -a 12.3-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD f3.tracy.holgerdanske.com 12.3-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 12.3-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC amd64 It has a jail 'samba' with the package 'samba413-4.13.14'. FreeBSD, Debian, Windows, macOS, and iOS clients are able to access shared folders over the network via SMB. Regarding Time Machine backup disks: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202784 I use a 320 GB USB 3.0 HDD with APFS (Case-sensitive, Encrypted) as a Time Machine backup disk. I previously used 128 GB SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.0 flash drives, until one night when I awoke to the smell of fried electronics (!). To use a FreeBSD machine as a Time Machine backup disk over the network, I would try these packages: libfsapfs-e.20210424 netatalk3-3.1.12_4,1 Prior to FreeBSD, I installed FreeNAS on the server; thinking FreeNAS was FreeBSD with some add-ons on top. I was wrong. I would now call FreeNAS a hardened, purpose-built FOSS distribution with a great many features. Using FreeNAS means learning and doing things the FreeNAS way via the UI; you should touch the insides. David
