Description
In https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/apple-time-machine/ , in the "Connect from macOS" section, I suggest adding:
- If using an existing Time Machine backup as target, and Time Machine says "Backup Not Completed / The backup on "unraidserver" is already in use" after attempting the first backup to it, reboot the Mac to ensure that the Mac does not have the Time Machine backup mounted somewhere already. After the reboot, manually start another Time Machine backup or wait for macOS to automatically start one.

Research direction
Start with the linked Apple Time Machine documentation page and its "Connect from macOS" section. Confirm the existing section structure, then add the suggested guidance as step 9 and verify that the page clearly describes the reboot and retry path for an already-used backup.
