# Time Machine
Apple docs: [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201250](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201250)
Docker image: [https://github.com/mbentley/docker-timemachine](https://github.com/mbentley/docker-timemachine)
Docker image: [https://github.com/awlx/samba-timemachine](https://github.com/awlx/samba-timemachine)
Time Machine is an application that allows you to backup files from your Mac.
Older versions of Time Machine relied on AFP (netatalk) shares. Apple has deprecated Time Machine over AFP in favor of SMB (Samba), and current versions of Ansible-NAS use a Samba-based Time Machine share. If you are upgrading from an older version of Ansible-NAS, you will need to re-select your Time Machine back up disk by opening Time Machine Preferences and Selecting your backup disk via the "Select Disk..." option. Your Mac will find the old backups on the share and use them.
## Usage
Set `timemachine_enabled: true` in your `group_vars/all.yml` file.
Enabling Time Machine will result in the installation of Avahi on the NAS system if it is not already installed. Avahi is required for Time Machine discovery. Avahi runs on the system, rather than in a container, as the same Avahi instance can be used to announce any number of services.
The Samba server included in the Time Machine docker container logs to `STDOUT`S and is compatible with [Docker's built-in logging infrastructure.](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/)

# Upgrading
Pull the latest Ansible-NAS repo, merge any new config sections from `group_vars/all.yml.dist` into your `group_vars/all.yml`, then run the playbook.
