10.7: Use local Time Machine as an instant safety net
Authored by: n6smith on Aug 20, '11 08:44:20PM

It is worth noting that Lion will not install onto a hard drive that has been used for Time Machine backups. If you try, you get a simple error msg stating you cannot install to this drive. Deleting the backup files allows you to continue. I mention this because if you use this hint and then have to reinstall Lion, you will face issues unless you delete that local backup file first.
