Re: Time Machine as a Backup for the server

I don't quite get the point, why this product should be exclusively designed for the home user when Apple did include it in the server version to be used in not-so-home environments.

Apple included it in the Server product so you could use it to backup client computers. It's good at that. It is not intended to backup the advanced features of the server itself, as the 'Getting Started' PDF states:


Getting_Started_v10.5.pdf

Page 32
"A standard or workgroup server needs significantly more disk space— such as a high
capacity external hard drive—if you want to back up the server using Time Machine.
(Time Machine backup of server data isn’t supported for an advanced server.) "


Page 53
"Note: You can restore a standard or workgroup configuration from a Time Machine
backup, but may not be able to completely restore advanced settings changed with
Server Admin."
