I can confirm that the Time Machine server backups on 10.5.x Server
are stored on unencrypted disk images. I haven't tried 10.6 Server's
TM Server backups.
Thanks,
Rich

I don't know. I never used Leopard Server for backups. I have a Mac
Mini at home backing up my wife's MBP and my kids mini. I needed to
get a file from my wife when she was out of town last week and didn't
have a network connection. So I figured I could just go to the server
and look at the backups.
I got it in the end, but it wasn't easy. I'll have to look when I get
home and confirm.

Is that a change from Leopard Server? I don't see that on my
Leopard Server machine (where I actually do the backups - I have one
Mini running Leopard Server that's the "inside server" and the newer
Mini running Snow Leopard Server as the "external facing server".
The latter replaced an old G4/933 running Tiger Server.)
Thanks for the note!

For question 2, as far as I can tell when you backup to Snow
Leopard server, the backups are stored as encrypted sparse images
for each machine on the backup drive. So trying to backup to an
encrypted disk image seems to be redundant.

Cool! Questions I wanted to ask:
1. advice for setting up SL Server as a gateway, i.e. security
questions to lock it down
2. secure back-up, including some sort of encryption if the
machine or external backup drives were physically stolen (I'd love
to use TimeMachine on the server, but I can't figure out how to
configure it to run on an encrypted disk image on the external
drive.)
3. 'best practices' for web/web service hosting in a SOHO
environment
