vTimeCapsule
The principle is taking a TurnKey Linux Core appliance and modify it in such way that it is accepting the Apple File storage Protocol (AFP) and also is recognized by the Apple TimeMachine client as a (virtual) TimeCapsule: vTimeCapsule.
The benefit of course is that this virtual TimeCapsule is potentially much more resilient that the original physical, single disk, version due to the virtue of the Target Platform. The Target Platform could be anything that the TurnKeyLinux Appliance can call home: a Scale Computing HC3 cluster, A Nimmbox cluster, or your traditional VmWare ESX cluster or anything really. The TurnKey Linux VM can then either be replicated to a second cluster of your choice using internal features of your platform of choice, or it can be conveniently backed up to the TurnKey HUB cloud backup service: tklbam.
The setup represents an elegant way to deploy a fully protected Mac OSX environment, both system and user files, without adding any backup software or licensing costs, plus the added value of the native Data Resilience as offered by your choice of Target Infrastructure.
