[Samba] 4.8.5 + TimeMachine = Disk identity changed on every connect, cannot backup

[Daniel Smolik]

I spent two days looking for the solution. And yet I have  workaround. In first time make backup with AFP. After this 
you can stop AFP and switch to SAMBa and TimeMachine backup works.

     Regards
