Gorbag Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 So, thinking of upgrading from 9 to 10, but also thinking of taking my (dedicated) mac mini desktop and running server on it. I don't need more than the 5 clients I had for the desktop version, but the upgrade price - because of a $20. add on from Apple for server.app - jumps from $60. to $280!! This so I can run a local namespace... and get somewhat faster disk accesses? Suggest you folks consider a price break for small (home based) servers. I'd run desktop on it and not back up the 'server' at all (just the clients) but that doesn't seem to be possible - it refuses to log into the server based engine without a server license. Meanwhile, I had to do an erase/restore to get back my 'non-server' server machine... I'd rather use Retrospect, but not for $300. I'll probably just switch to network volume based time machine.
