 "NAME"
afp_voluuid.conf - Configuration file used by afpd(8) to specify UUID for Time Machine volume

 "DESCRIPTION"

:ETCDIR:/afp_voluuid.conf
is the configuration file used by
afpd
to specify UUID of Time Machine volume automagically. The configuration lines are composed like:


"volume name"
uuid-string


The first field is volume name. Volume names must be quoted if they contain spaces. The second field is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII string representation of a UUID.


The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The lines prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are ignored.
.\}


.it 1 an-trap
.nr an-no-space-flag 1
.nr an-break-flag 1


Note




This UUID is advertised by Zeroconf in order to provide robust disambiguation of Time Machine volume.


The afpd generates the UUID from random numbers and saves it into afp_voluuid.conf, only when setting "tm" option in AppleVolumes file.


This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto another server.





 "EXAMPLES"

Example. afp_voluuid.conf three TM volumes on one netatalk
