[Samba] Issues with using Samba share from Mac OS

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

https://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/examples/  

Here are 2 files for a time machine setup. 
An example config : samba-491-conf.txt
And the timemachine.service file

Get them and adjust your config.

These are tested by other samba list users and they reported this works. 

Greetz, 

Louis
