ÂÂ Remote Access Settings ÂÂ Software Update | Apple 10.6 specification

For example, Time Machine doesn’t back up user and group directory records, email, DNS records, Address Book shared groups, iCal Server calendars, and so forth. It only saves the settings made in Server Preferences and Server Admin, and whether a service is on or off. The following service settings and statuses are preserved:

ÂÂ Address Book Server

ÂÂ DHCP

ÂÂ DNS

ÂÂ File Services (AFP, SMB, NFS, and FTP) ÂÂ Firewall

ÂÂ iCal Server

ÂÂ iChat Server ÂÂ Mail

ÂÂ Mobile Access ÂÂ MySQL

ÂÂ NAT

ÂÂ Network Settings

ÂÂ Podcast Producer ÂÂ Print

ÂÂ Push Notification

ÂÂ QTSS

ÂÂ RADIUS

ÂÂ Remote Access Settings

ÂÂ Software Update

ÂÂ VPN

ÂÂ Web

ÂÂ Wiki

ÂÂ Xgrid

For more information about where the necessary data files are stored for backup via other means, see “Critical Configuration and Data Files” on page 155.

Note: You can use the launchctl command to automate data backup using the aforementioned commands. For more information about using launchctl and launchd, see their respective man pages.
