❓ [Samba NAS] Use an External SSD for Time Machine Backups? #226
Comments
Yon don'need. Read the documention. |
Would the below config work for what I am trying to achieve?
Also, the below in configuration.yaml is okay for mqtt sensor to track sda2 disk usage? (I have the Home Assistant Add-on: Mosquitto broker installed)
|
The addon work with partitions labels and uuid not with block names. Sdb2 is a block name. If you are unsure try the automatic flag. L |
The rest of the config looks fine? |
It is difficult, post the config and the startup logs with my proposed change and I can check. L |
Hi, I was delighted to see that it possible to create a samba server usable also for Time Machine backups. |
Hi

You don't need to create folder or other manual modifications of the supervisor. I'm sorry if the documentation is not clear but is a part time project for an advanced user that has the knowledge in Linux blocks devices, hassos internal functions and samba limit. Is not one of my target to make tutorials or support services. The best I can do is summarize the steps:

Hi,
I have the latest Home Assistant OS running on my RPi 4B with Samba NAS add on installed. I have an external SSD connected (not mounted) to my Pi 4B on a USB 3.0 port with two ext4 partition, sdb1 (filesystem) and sdb2 (main storage). I want to be able to use the sdb2 partition connected to the Pi as a Network Time Machine Backup through Samba. I was earlier able to do this when I was running Raspberry Pi OS by mounting the drive (at /home/ex and made a folder named pibackup inside which served as target folder for backup) and edited the file smb.conf file at /etc/samba/ as follows.

Edited:
Ran the following commands to add password:
Added at the end to make it accessible directly in the file browser:
Since, I am new to Home Assistant OS, I am unable to replicate this. I have setup root SSH access using ‘HassOS SSH port 22222 Configurator’ add-on and also installed Samba NAS add-on. How do I accomplish this? Is there some smb.conf file installed by this addon that I can edit in a similar way?
Also, instructions to create an MQTT sensor to track the sdb2 disk usage would be really appreciated!
