Hi Jason, Thanks for posting the link to your backup strategy - very interesting. You might be interested in this comment from <http://tinyurl.com/68648j> posted on 24/12/08.
"When you want to restore a file from a sparse bundle, mount the sparse bundle manually. Then option-click the TM icon in the menu bar. You'll notice that the "Enter Time Machine" entry has changed to "Browse Other Time Machine Disks". Use this option, navigate to your sparse bundle and -- lo and behold -- all your backups are there.:" Perhaps that will solve your problem with TM and restoring from a Drobo? I've just bought a Drobo for my office - still getting to know it.
