Scheduled backups failed due to changed IP address on MacStudio (ref#XV6K3K)

@Mark_Salkind @benjamin @noris @Daniel ,

I believe Apple changed some of macOS Sequoia’s syntax and didn’t let anyone know. In any event I believe I’ve solved the case. Please review the example below and apply these findings to your Mac and let me know.

Singleton:

local host name “Nasa

User name “Audio Astronaut

Failed under macOS Sequoia testing:

  • smb://172.20.10.4/users/audioastronaut/music/moonrocks

  • smb://nasa/users/audioastronaut/music/moonrocks

  • \172.20.10.4\users\audioastronaut\music\moonrocks

  • \nasa\users\audioastronaut\music\moonrocks

I discovered that the following series of syntax on multiple machines work. I’ve found no mention of it in my research having discovered it while testing to resolve your issue.

100% success rate under macOS Sequoia:

  • smb://172.20.10.4/moonrocks

  • smb://nasa/moonrocks

  • \172.20.10.4\moonrocks

  • \nasa\moonrocks

Notice that your local host name or IP and a terminating directory are all that are required.

If your’s or any current Roon users media directory terminates at any of the 6 directories below I highly suggest relocating to a subdirectory in anticipation of future updates and or potential errors. I suspect that this may also have something to do with an issue of incorrect file permissions reported here as well. All the best.
