This is what I did, too.

But use ext4 instead of HFS+, and use Samba instead of Netatalk. With HFS+, the bundle would get corrupt after a few days. With Netatalk, a sudden power outage would corrupt the whole thing.

Don't listen to 99% of blog posts on this. They all tell you to use HFS+/Netatalk. None of those authors have actually used that backup solution for any extended period of time, because if they did, they'd find that it's unusable. Use this one instead:

Samba. Ext4.



Thanks for the recommendation. We work pretty closely with Apple's SMB2 client developers to make sure everything works well together with Samba. They're great fun to work with !
