netatalk => to have your Linux talk AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) natively.Second, ensure that the following two packages are installed: It’s free, well documented, easy and it will save you tons of days and headaches trying to make bits behave 🙂 If not, you should really consider to upgrade. Sure, you need to modify some configuration files on your Linux box… but if you are not able to visome files, maybe you should think to have another operating system.Īs said, please ensure your Debian Linux is at version 7.0 (Wheezy). It’s hard to configure the stuff, requires programming/scripting.It all started working when I moved from the previous Squeeze Debian (6.0) to the latest greatest Wheezy (7.0)

#TIME MAHCINE CANNOT DETECT NETATALK DRIVE MAC#
To be clear: this is a document to build a backup system “à la Time Machine” for your Mac based on Mavericks OS X 10.9.1 using a file share on Debian Linux and AFP protocol.įirst of, some statements about false/deviating info I’ve found on other sites: I’ve finally been able to achieve it (and testing with file restore also), hence I’ve decided to document here my configuration hoping it will be of some benefit for others. It took me quite a lot and quite long time of experimenting before finding the proper way to do this, especially considering that Mavericks is a bit different from the previous felines… and that I was using Debian Squeeze…
