Until that time, you’ll need to build Samba from source. The bad news is that your favorite Linux distro probably doesn’t have this version (4.8.0) and likely won’t until the distro’s next major release. The Samba project recently merged the support necessary for macOS to “see” an SMB shared folder as capable of being a network Time Machine share. Unfortunately, the way Apple has implemented it, not just any network share can be used - the server has to mark it as a Time Machine-capable share. MacOS’s amazing Time Machine feature can make backups either to a local drive (whether connected externally or internally), or to a network share. Nowadays, SMB is the standard protocol regardless of operating system. It uses the SMB protocol, originally a proprietary protocol designed by Microsoft for sharing files between a Windows server and workstation.

that enables you to share storage attached to a server with any other device in the network. Samba, in its simplest form, is a program for Linux, FreeBSD, Windows (via WSL), etc.
