Time Machine can backup over the network to either HFS+ or APFS target volumes, shared via SMB. If you try to do this with a ZFS target volume, the client gets an error saying "The selected network backup disk does not support the required capabilities." | Time Machine can backup over the network to either HFS+ or APFS target volumes, shared via SMB.

You don't need the steps that set the volume as a time machine destination on the server; it's just going to be shared over the network. When you share the volume on the network, follow the instructions at https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/a-shared-folder-time-machine-mac-mchl31533145/mac to make it available as a TimeMachine volume. | You don't need the steps that set the volume as a time machine destination on the server; it's just going to be shared over the network.
