Miscellanea

  • Mac mini was an ideal solution for home or small business before TimeCapsule. The Lion Server supports both RAID 0 and RAID 1. See “RAIDS: Know how to back up your data on home servers”. But you have to keep in mind, that Mac mini is not a fully functional heavy-duty server and is prone to faults, especially caused by power failure or blackout, water or fire damage.
