One side note, I have seen on the amanda mailing list that amanda has been successfully compiled and put into use for backing up *nix as well as OSX itself on an OSX server. Granted, it won't back up macs, but it will back up your server. I have yet to see a true cross platform solution that will do *nix, windoze and mac. We are currently using Amanda for our UNIX/linux machines and retrospect for Mac and win machines. Both are great for what they are designed for (not to mention amanda is open source!).
Just my $.02.

> The appleshare version of OSX server Ver 1.2 is pathetic to say the least. First and foremost you must have a HFS partition to share to apple clients. This is not documented in the install portion of OSX. This is very inconvenient and a pain. Since UFS does not support resource forks. So all shares have to be HFS. This also poses another problem. Backing up a shared volume. The best way we have found to backup the machine is to NFS share the directories and back them up using our Lagato software. Since retrospect does not support OSX yet, that is not an option. I have been told that the Mac retrospect has problems with a lot of files and resource forks. We have run into this problem here as well and are waiting for a fix from them.
