A Real Switch-Hitter
You can make your Airport base station
do double duty as a networked backup
device by using Time Capsule from Apple.
Time Capsule takes the blazing 802.11n
WiFi performance of an Airport Extreme,
and then adds either a 500GB or 1TB drive
which can be used by both wired and
wireless Macs on your local network as
a Time Machine backup drive. It's a quick
and easy way to make sure the data on
your newly-congured Leopard Server
is secure.
