I might be misremembering=85but I do seem to recall that the backup to =
the shared Airport disk was different than that to the shared drive off =
the the server. I'm pretty sure the former was Finder readable and not a =
sparse image file but since the experiment failed and I erased the =
failure and returned to sharing the drive off of the mini server (albeit =
I added Server to the mix instead of using a normal OS X share point in =
System Preferences) I can't verify the details.
