For Mac, automatic if you like, creates a fully bootable back up,
it's gotten a bit more pricey would be the biggest drawback at this point.

Cron is your friend. I've got mine set up to do the incremental backup once
per night, but you could easily also hook it up to an internet
connection/disconnection script.

Good stuff! But one catch: I want to set this up for the family to use. TM
gives us automatic backups whenever we connect to the network, so vastly
reduces the chance of data loss.
But I'm also considering backup to the internet .. my Joyent web hosting
service or possibly s3 or gs. Big probl
Duh, good catch! I've filled up the root partition that way before too.

No, not ignored. But I may have left out that I wish to use Time Machine for
backups. Alas, I don't know if Apple is making TM open source yet.
If so, I'd definitely consider a tiny Linux box. My use of a hosting service
has kept my Linux hacks up well enough so that admin overhead would not
Our replies are only unhelpful when they are ignored.
Which they will be -- you can't talk reason with the Mac-Enamored.

I've used the desktop mini that way. I just made sure to boot it the
first time with peripherals attached. Then made sure the VNC service
started at boot, removed the peripherals and used VNC forever after.
The DVD drive was quite handy for several upgrades.

I'm considering a mac mini for a home server: backups (Time Machine), large
overnight file uploading to my web site, torrents, etc. A non-desktop utility
system running snow leopard. I plan to run it without keyboard, mouse and
