Macmini Server
I saw the new Apple product launch today and in particular the new macmini line up.
There is a server version with Quad processors and 2X500GB HD (assume this can be used as a RAID?)
Anyway my other thread on NAS is getting a bit too technical for me to understand but this new macmini server does look interesting and I wanted to know:
1) Whether I can store all my music/video/photos on this macmini server and then connect it out to the LAN (though a router - hopefully can still find a 4 port router)
2) Is this ok to be turned on 24/7. - will it damage the HD?
3) backup, whether I should also get the Time Capsule or just hook up an external USB drive to the server to do incremental backups? hopefully a thunderbolt HD will come up soon!
4) If I get the new IMac as well, what is the best way to setup this. should I point this to the Macmini server for all the files, or also store the music on the Imac and then use the server for incremental backups?
5) For my other devices, HDTV with DLA, Ipad, Iphone etc... how should I hook it up
6) the Lion Server app, is this secure enough? It looks pretty simple to use
7) Can I access this server REMOTELY? Also is it secure?
