John,

Just to be clear on this matter. Do you imply that if one is running any of
these "server like" tasks on a regular Mac OS X machine that they won't be
backed up properly? (I sometimes put server-like stuff on client machines in
particular configurations.) Also does Retrospect do special stuff to get
these backed up properly on Mac OS X Server? Does it stop/start "services"
to close open files during backup for instance?

Ernst.
