I've restored from Time Machine on a number of occasions without
difficulty. It seems to do an excellent job without my having to
take any real action. It even backs up my encrypted files and
enables restoration of them if they're lost or inadvertently altered.
Thanks Paul. :-)
two questions...
I know you're an advanced user... Have you verified, by manual means
or otherwise, that all the data you wish to back up are being
included?
The ultimate purpose of a backup is restore. Do you have any
experience with restoring data from a Time Machine (TM)?
Huh? Did he not just say that he has restored from Time Machine on a
number of occasions?
I ask you. Have you ever used Time Machine? Do you know what it does?
Do you know that you can enter it and see the status of a file an hour
ago, a day ago, 4 days ago, a week ago, a month ago, 7 months ago (if
it existed then), a year ago, years ago? That restoring is as
intuitive as selecting the file, folder, or drive you need restored,
and, well, clicking on restore, to restore it.
The most important thing to remember is, if you turn it off for some
reason, be sure to turn it back on. Upgrading the O/S with TN running
slows things down on all fronts. Rest assured though, the old O/S will
be there if you do screw up, a window or two deep in the Time Machine
screen.

I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
The eyesight to tell the difference.
