That "replacement" is not always full-on hardware.

I have colleagues who are running AFP on BSD for continuous backups on their systems, and they have to reconfigure something new to be able to continue backing up their systems.

I use this for networked Time Machine backups for multiple Macs in my household. Works just as well over tailscale VPN.
