Yes, I absolute agree. There is no replacement for tape-drives.

It became better. But it is not comparable with other server-os.
I never would use it in a productive environment.
But until now I think it is sufficient for home use and I got it for free.

Sure, the most of the used services you can enable and configure with the
client OS too. Since I repair Books, I often change the machine I'm
working
with. The home-folder-sync or mobile accounts are a nice way to get on the
new machine without migration.
Also it is a home backup for a lost book.
