Comment (by ryandesign):
I reinstalled 10.6 server from DVD, but it didn't want to restore from the
Time Machine backup because "Migration is not supported from servers which
are configured to use dynamic network addresses"; see
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2467711. The solution as it says
there was to edit the file
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist in the backup
to indicate a manual IPv4 address instead of a DHCP one, but backups are
protected from editing. As I found at
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/31679/how-can-i-delete-a-file-
marked-as-backup-item the solution was to use the `bypass` program inside
the TMSafetyNet.kext.
That having been done, it restored the backup. Unlike on newer systems it
did not ask me which users I wanted to restore, but also unlike on newer
systems all the users appear to have been restored correctly including
their original home directories.
OS updates are now being installed.
