Time Machine is simply not a corporate level backup solution. It's a
home level backup solution. It does not deal with machine compromise,
or localized physical disaster in addition to not supplying granular
backup policies, media rotation, or encrypted storage.
In the enterprise you need a separate backup solution, outside of the
room, to which the machine can NOT get write access. If you're not at
this point, then Time Machine is far better than no backup at all.
But Time Machine simply isn't trying to participate in the enterprise
level backup game. If you have a linux hacker on staff, I highly
recommend BackupPC.

There at least one major deal-breaker for me. The inability to have
granular backup and restore when FileVault is enabled is a serious
deficiency. As data-at-rest security policy here requires all
accounts be encrypted (technically, it calls for full-disk
encryption, but IA/Security has allowed FileVault as a compromise),
Time Machine is not very useful. I guess I'll just keep using
Backup 3.1.1...
Can any of the Apple SEs on the list give an indication if this is
something that will be corrected before too long, or are we security-
conscious types just out of luck if we'd like to utilize one of
Leopard's main incentives to upgrade?
