That’s why we do almost all of our development as guests of FileMaker Server and hope to migrate to FileMaker Cloud sometime over the next year. It is hard to crash the server as a guest. It is hard to hurt the data if you are a guest and your Mac or PC loses power or crashes. Where your data is hosted is where your data and your database are protected. That Filemaker Server 18 is compatible matters to you if you buy new computers that require Catalina like that new MacBook Pro 16 that was just released! We wrote recently that FileMaker Server 18 is already certified as compatible with MacOS Catalina as well as many recent flavors of Windows. See below that there may be more latitude when you are a guest of FileMaker Server or now FileMaker Cloud. You get 3 certified MacOS versions at any one time these days. If you are back a few notches on MacOS, please note that FileMaker 18 Advanced is no longer certified for macOS Sierra. You can buy that shiny new Mac that requires Catalina, but you need to exercise some caution around FileMaker even though it is now certified as good to go on Catalina by FileMaker Inc.

Our concern now is only with the newest MacOS.
