Hiya,
I work with a small charity where everyone uses iBooks. I'm having problems with getting backups sorted out properly, as everyone is part-time, in and out of the office, and generally not very techie about backups.
Time Machine looks like it could be the answer, as everyone could back up to a central external HD disk plugged into the router. (we don't actually have a central server, we're too small!)
However, I do need to plan and budget for buying Leopard for the company, and it's very frustrating as Apple won't say when it's coming out or how much it will cost!
If it won't come out till Summer, ok fine, I'll get something else (what do you recommend?) and set it up and train people how to use it.
But if Leopard is coming out soon, I'd rather wait, as it's disruptive to our work to be changing things around all the time, also it's an expensive waste of my time to buy and set up a third party backup, then junk it for Time Machine a few weeks later
Suggestions?
