Take the 2-minute tour ×  I see in an Apple manual that  "Time
Machine backup of server data isn’t supported for an advanced
server"  but I'm not clear on how to interpret "server data."
Does it refer to the entire boot volume for the server... or
certain folders... all volumes connected?  While only Apple
knows exactly how to interpret the phrase, I'm hoping someone
here may have figured out by trial and error.  Any useful
information is welcome.  share|improve this question add comment
1 Answer  Probably databases. Databases carry an ACID guarantee
that you want, but those guarantees are only available from the
running database program. The database files aren't usually
enough to guarantee a consistent database state.  Traditionally,
you skip files known to be databases and run database dumps
instead.  share|improve this answer add comment  Your Answer
