Here's a problem I've found with Time Machine and Lion: If you use a Time Machine server, such as Seagate's BlackArmor NAS drive, or any of a number of NAS drives that support Time Machine, Apple has changed the protocol it uses for connection to such devices in Lion. Most, if not all of these devices will require updates from the manufacturer in order to function with Lion. I have a Seagate NAS drive, and until Seagate updates the firmware, I cannot access any of my Time Machine backups created prior to Lion, nor can I back up the Lion upgrade to my NAS drive. The workaround is to use a USB connected drive on the Mac or a network drive that can be formatted as a Time Machine share, but that only allows backing up the current OS, not access to previous backups. Had I known of this issue, I would not have upgraded to Lion until the third party NAS servers were upgraded.
This is the only third party issue I have found so far. Also, Xcode 4.0.2 under Snow Leopard will not run under Lion - but an upgrade to Xcode 4.1 is available (another 4 GB download). 73, Charlie, K4ZRJ Sent from my MacBook Pro.
