[MacTUG] OS 10.9 Server, a nice surprise...

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

I have been playing with 10.9 Server. We use one for Time Machine backup of some of our office machines. For the first time you can easily limit the size of the time machine backup of each of your client machines. There was a tricky way to do it — involving sparse disk images that you ensured would not grow — but now 10.9 server can limit each 10.9 to a specified amount of space (can be set for each client). This is great as previously all the clients would just fight for the space. This makes the idea of using a mac mini as a departmental backup server much more viable
