Is there anything like TimeCapsule for wireless backups?

[Pangalactic]

I saw the timecapsule option with the time machine backup. The capsule has been discontinued for like forever, so is there any way to make wireless backups nowadays? I don’t mean third party software which obviously works, but with the time machine software

Time Machine on the Mac is simply a client that looked for Time Capsule or asks if want to use a new disk that attach for backups.

Pretty much all NAS vendors have option for acting as a Time Capsule and appearing over the network to the Time Machine software on the Mac.

That network can be wired or wireless.

Any NAS can be used as a Time Capsule and works wired or wireless.

Using a WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra wirelessly here for Time Machine bsckups. No problems so far!

You could also use an old Mac for this, I re-purposed my 2012 Mini as a Time Machine destination and file server when I upgraded to a new Mini. I am running Catalina on the 2012 Mini, but Apple added this capability starting with High Sierra.

Setting it up is easy, but not obvious - I had to Google this article to figure out how I did it!
