Re: Time Machine as a Backup for the server

I have been using Time Machine as a backup on a few servers for about 6 months with no issues. It's very handy for restoring files to user homes. If a user deletes a file that was there an hour ago I can very easily get it back. Depending on your backup up needs and the services that your server is running I think Time Machine is a very good reliable option.

Our HP Tape backup failed, it can no longer read-write to tape.  I was thinking a faster method would be to use TimeMachine as a server grade backup.
Wondering about the reliability, rotation of media (two separate drives) etc.

Thoughts
Please. This has been discussed so many times before on this list that we don't need to hear it anymore. Time Machine is designed for the home user. Period. To use it in a mission-critical, production, environment is simply lunacy. Would you risk your paycheck on it? I know I wouldn't.
