   @mWare @feld Last I looked, there was no iSCSI initiator client built into MacOS.

     @Tubsta @mWare There were multiple high quality initiators (and targets!) that were popular among the film industry and they worked really well. M1 Macs completely killed them all.

     @feld @mWare Yeah, I went looking so I could set up my wife's new Mac Air to use Time Machine over #iSCSI and was shocked that there was nothing in the base system. I'm a big fan of the initiator/target facilities in #FreeBSD

     @Tubsta @mWare The only annoying thing is that it is impossible to do a bare metal restore if your time machine is over iSCSI. You will have to clone the volume to a physical external drive before you can begin the restoration.

     @feld @mWare I ended up just using a Samba share on a #ZFS dataset. I'm not really worried about doing a full restore in that situation, more get a clean install and just drag back the user data.
