Tiger allows you to Spotlight search your machine. Leopard allows you to Spotlight search other machines on the network as well. If I have a four workstations running Leopard, and a server running Tiger Server, will I be able to Spotlight search the contents of the server?

Probably. Spotlight searches are saved on each machine, so as long as your server is keeping its own Spotlight database up-to-date, the Leopard machines should be able to access it.

It compresses by combining older snapshots. So you may only be able to keep, say, two weeks back of daily snapshots, then it'll toss the oldest snapshot when it gets the newest one. Because snapshots can vary in size a lot, it may cost you two days of backups to back up another day, or no days of older backups.
