* Edit the file /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default and replace this path /var/hda/files/amahi-time-machine by the path of the folder where the backups should go.
* Execute, as root, 'service netatalk restart'
Note that Time Machine will ask for a user and a password. This user and password you provide must have write access to the folder you set up.
= Limiting the Backup Volume Size =
By default, Apple's Time Machine software will grow the backup size to use all available disk space. To artificially limit this, do the following.
1. Edit By default, Apple's Time Machine software will grow the file /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumesbackup size to use all available disk space.default:On To artificially limit the line that begins '/var/hda/files/amahi-time-machine'amount of space it takes, add 'volsizelimit:XXXX' AFTER 'options:tm', where XXXX is do the artificial limit in MiBfollowing.
2. Execute 'service netatalk restart''WARNING: Do not do this while a backup is running! It may mess up your backups!'''
NOTE== Amahi 9 == * For Amahi 9, change /etc/netatalk/afp.conf ... and in the [Amahi™] section, add this line vol size limit = 300for 300MiB of limit.* Execute this as root: systemctl restart netatalk == Amahi 8 ==* For Amahi 8, edit the file /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default: On the line that begins '/var/hda/files/amahi-time-machine', add 'volsizelimit:XXXX' AFTER the 'options: do not do this while ..' part separated by a backup apce, where XXXX is runningthe artificial limit in MiB. Example for a ~600GB limit: :DEFAULT: options:tm,upriv,usedots volsizelimit:600000* Execute this as root: systemctl restart netatalk The way Apple's Time Machine software works requires more disk space than the size of the backup available. It is usually best to put a volume size limit in place before the first backup is created.
