Placed a new 500GB SATA disk in the PowerMAC G5 server for storing all kinds of backups on, including the Time Machine data of other Mac's on the network.
A new hard disk was used, but it is a bit doubtfull. I placed it into a new Linux machine for a client at first, but it made weird noises. To be sure we placed a different HDD into the client's Linux machine and used this drive for our own use.
The constant backups into this disk will be a good test to see if it is ok or not. It's a litte risky, but for our own local use I can keep a close eye on the status of the disk.
Using Server Admin this disk is shared on the network and is also enabled as a special Time Machine share.
The Time Machine function of the server itself will backup this disk onto a external Firewire drive.
