It's unfortunate that Apple didn't deliver a Core Data solution (to
third-party developers) for proper Time Machine operation, but the
onus is on Apple to fix this one. You have the option of _not_ using
Time Machine where it doesn't make sense. Apple gave you that option,
and it would make sense to use it in this case. Exclude the Yojimbo
data store from being backed up and implement a different backup
strategy. Problem solved.
However, as a software architect, I agree with you on the "big opaque
file" paradigm... in my databases, I store a record of an archived
file in the database, but then the file separately. That reduces the
size of the database tremendously, still provides adequate performance
and indexing capabilities, and would be more compatible with Time
Machine. So, I think there's room for a middle-ground solution.
