Title: Time Machine SMB support
Post by: Whipp on October 03, 2016, 12:10:28 PM

Hi I would like to ask, is there any posibility to fix macOS Sierra compatibility with DNS320L Time Machine feature? Apple changed AFP to SMB protocol to make TM backups.

Thx

If Apple is using the standard SMB protocol all you should need to do is activate SMB on the DNS-320L.

It is not that simple. I think SMB is on by default. And when I turn off TimeMachine option on DNS320L mac does not find any disks. If I turn TM on on DNS302L mac sees only AFP connection - which does not work.
Connection via AFP results in OSStatus error 65
Same problem patched by WD here:  http://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=14917 (http://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=14917)

As far as I know CIFS/SMB is not on by default.  It, together with FTP and WebDav have to be applied to each user individually.

It is found using the webUI under 'Management' --> 'Account Management'.  Specifically Step 4.1 'Assign Privileges/ Access Methods'.

Sorry that didn't work.  Unfortunately we don't have any Apple equipment here so there is no way we can test something like this.

Thank you anyway. It seems that Apple changed protocols but devices like DNS320L does not support this kind of change.

Something you might want to contact D-Link support about and ask them to see if it could be changed in there FW.  :-\

I am having the same problem... So I can no longer use the DNS-320 as a Time Machine device?

Has FW been updated on the DNS recently?
