Warning: Apple Says macOS 27 Won’t Support AirPort Time Capsule Backups – MacRumors

“Stella Fudge” on Twitter:
Goodbye Time Capsule support 💔
[Time Machine screenshot, with the notice: “Disk Not Recommended for Backups The next major version of macOS will no longer support AirPort Disk, or other Time Capsule disks, for Time Machine backups.”]
Time Machine can back up to the built-in disk of another Mac on your network, or to an external storage device connected to that Mac.
If either Mac is using macOS Catalina or earlier, this solution is no longer recommended, because Time Machine backup over the network to or from those earlier macOS versions uses Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), which won’t be supported in a future version of macOS.
Joe Rossignol, MacRumors:
Starting with macOS 27, Time Capsule backups will require a storage drive that supports more current file-sharing protocols like SMBv2 and SMBv3.
I have, rather embarrassingly, procrastinated replacing the hard drive for our networked Time Machine backup for nearly two years. That backup is connected to a MacBook Air which cannot be upgraded past MacOS Catalina, at least officially. So I guess I now have two problems to figure out.
Anyone have experience with barrykn’s patcher on a mid-2012 MacBook Air?
