I might be misremembering…but I do seem to recall that the backup to the shared 
Airport disk was different than that to the shared drive off the the server. 
I'm pretty sure the former was Finder readable and not a sparse image file but 
since the experiment failed and I erased the failure and returned to sharing 
the drive off of the mini server (albeit I added Server to the mix instead of 
using a normal OS X share point in System Preferences) I can't verify the 
details.
