Time Machine works OK for user files, but trying to restore a trashed
system (OS X Server) drive from it hasn't worked for me. (Neither has
any other backup/restore I've tried.) I don't know if there's something
peculiar about Leopard Server that prevents you from restoring it.
Besides 'restore system frome Time Machine' (via booting from a Leopard
distribution disk), I've tried restoring from the disk clones I had
(e.g. those done by Carbon Copy Cloner), also with no luck. The disk
shows up in System Preferences -> Startup Disk, but when I select the OS
X Server installation and then try to start, I get the [?] folder
indicating an invalid system (and it goes to the other drive and boots
up Leopard 'client'.)
So it looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and do a complete
reinstall of OS X Server, and that is -not an appealing proposition-, to
say the least. (In part that's because I'll need to go back through the
documentation and basically re-learn what I did to get Server working in
the first place.)
