The most frequent question that I am asked is how someone can protect all of the data that they store on their Xserves and Xserve RAIDs. It’s a good question, too!
Most of us may have other platforms on our networks as well, so how are all of these servers and clients going to play together?
Since I was faced with this question myself, I decided to write an extensive article, detailing some of the cross-platform solutions out on the market today, primarily IBM’s TSM, Atempo’s Time Navigator and Tolis Group’s new BRU release.
The document is housed in the Projects section on my site, www.district13computing.com, and on MacEnterprise.org. I hope this helps shed some light on a very important decision that we all must face with Mac OS X Server deployments.

Today, along with the previously mentioned Server update, Apple has also updated its client to 10.3.7 on the Client side as well. The update is available from Apple’s Software Update application.
Key features of the 10.3.7 update include:
– Enhancements to TextEdit, allowing certain RTF files to be read.
– Resolution to an issue in Safari, Mail, and other applications that use DNS lookups, which caused connectivity issues.
– Numerous performance gains in World of Warcraft.
