OS X Lion Breaks Mac Backup

Those beta testing Apples new operating system update OS X Lion have found that once they have updated to this major update that their HP MediaSmart Server can no longer back up the Mac.

Once you’ve updated your Mac to the new release, you’ll find the HP MediaSmart Server client can still detect the home server on the network, but is unable to remount the drive – leaving you to work through the same manual workarounds as other Windows Home Server v1 owners.

Since the MediaSmart Server range is discontinued, now perhaps is a good time to upgrade these units to Windows Home Server 2011 since this is going to support Mac backups via a yet unreleased third party add-in.
