You should be able to log on and backup the GS using the Mac's personal 
file sharing.

as it says in the FAQ
"Booting an Apple II over Appletalk is not a trivial task, 
even though the System 6.0/6.0.1 include "disks" to support it. To boot an 
Apple II over Appletalk, you must also own Apple's Appleshare 2.x or 3.x"
http://www.apple2.org/faq/FAQ.csa2.403.html

I can't remember how much luck I had using the Appleshare server on OS9.  
I've heard OSX doesn't support serial ports.
