10.5: Ease restore from Time Machine
Authored by: Hal Itosis on Oct 26, '07 11:26:29AM

This hint seems to imply partitioning is necessary, in order to
accomplish the task. While I am a *huge* fan of partitioning,
I thought I read somewhere that Time Machine backs-up into
folders. So --while partitioning might offer some advantages--
is it really a requirement? [ I ask on behalf of those newbies
and/or diehards, who deem partitioning highly undesirable.]

Also, the hint just says "copy the DVD". Does that make the
backup disk bootable? Did it mean to 'clone' perhaps? What?

-HI-

Wow... editing would be nice. Especially since
-when we post- we CAN'T SEE the page we're
replying to. (SHEESH! What a system!).

Anyway, just ignore the last paragraph in my
previous post (since I can't edit it), and focus
on the FIRST paragraph. Okay? Thanks.

-HI-

I seem to recall reading that Time Machine requires a drive of its own. I suppose that "drive" really means "volume". My point is that TM was said to be unable to backup to a folder -- it wanted the whole drive.
