Hey All,
I have a Mac Mini running 10.6.2 server. Found this guy:
Apple - Support - Discussions - Mac Mini server hangs during periods of ...
He has the exact same problem. After a Time Machine backup or two or some other heavy network traffic, the server will randomly hang and become completely unresponsive. Anyone here experience this or have any suggestions? I don't even know where to begin debugging this thing, outside of the fact that I know the Mini works just fine under 10.5.8 server.

Check your logs to see what is being logged right before this happens. This could be a kernel panic, a power supply failure, an ethernet controller hang (if you are still able to move your mouse but cannot connect via the network), a cooling issue, or probably several other things. I would first explore software based culprits by consulting your logs at the time of crash for kernel level failures.

After digging through Apple Support forums, it would appear that Snow Leopard Server and Time Machine are the culprit. In 10.6.2, after initiating a Time Machine backup, my permissions go out of whack. My logs are displaying a bunch of ACL read errors on several user accounts.
So... back to unsupported, yet working, 10.5 server until Apple decides to fix this. I can't not have backups for the staff.

I don't think you want to use Time Machine with OS X Server anyway, nor do I think Apple recommends this. There are several directories that are not backed up on Server, plus the product AFAIK is not particularly well designed to notify you in the event of a failure (e.g. email, text message, whatever).

Oh, it's not the server being backed up via Time Machine. That's done via Retrospect to a tape archive at the district office. This is the Time Machine Service that clients use on the NAS that's messing up the user permissions on LDAP.
