Hi, the ability to 'manually install' TB is something I was drawn to. I have a common partition that I have TB reside on and 3 different versions of windows swap in/out of C: all sharing the common TB install. Seems to work without a hitch although there was a slight amount of registry editing needed. Mind you I did install it once and pluck out the "RIT" registry chain before I removed that partition and re-imaged it. However I don't think I really had to since TB simply created the missing reg entries (defaults of course) in the other OS when I ran the client. Seems much of the configuration information resides in the TB home directory so reconfiguring was quite minimal to have each OS-TB combination work the same. With regard to the backup feature, it has worked perfectly for me during the re-partitioning, OS swapping and so forth that I was doing seeing how TB will work not really being installed on any of the 3 windows partitions that I can boot. Also, unlike some programs you need not worry if your account(s) don't show up as expected. Create new account -> pointing to the directory where the files are.. works great. I SO THRILLED about how everything is so un-bound from windows and all the nasty underpinnings that make migration from-to another computer, backups, restore, etc so painless with TB. Craig, my two cents are to go with your gut feeling and use the (backup) TBK file. Works well. And as Allie said, manually moving it is no hassle.
