Out of the box, Time Machine on a Mac OS X Client computer can backup to any Mac OS X Server with the AFP service Running. With a simple terminal command you can also allow Time Machine on the Client to backup to any AFP, SMB, or FTP server. Time Machine knows the difference between a server and an external drive, and when your backing up to a server, it automatically mounts, authenticates, and un-mounts the remote volume. When backing up to a server, Time Machine knows that its a server and saves its files to a read/write compressed AFS+ Sparse disk image instead of the usual folder/file heirachy. Time Machine was designed for server use as well as local use from the ground up. Remote backup is fully supported!

You can't select an .Mac or FTP server... yet :( Check your leopard. I hope thy update the soft soon.

Yeah. Olivier,

And as you we all are somewhat disappointed by the announces. Macbook Air... okay.... who will buy this sheet of paper sized computer. the lack of CD-DVD means youcan't go to visit someone and get some presentation CD(I means for professionals). Thin is ok, but I'm sure you need a strong case to prtect it... Apple TV is still no device for me as it's not a full CD, TV, DVd manager. You only can manage you itunes library (needing your imac to be up and running). The Time capsule is... still useless. It's supposed to help you bay automatically backing up your data, but professionnaly said : having a backup at the same place than your computer is stuipid. I hoped for a remote backup feature of Time machine (on a .mac or a remote host), but no :( Time Machine and Time Capsule are for the home user not for offices. I whised the iPhone and the ipod Touch to be open, so anybody could create a standalone app.... no.... Well... I'll keep my brand new black macbook and still love it :p Hey Kabren,
