You're just replying to a sub-thread where someone claimed TM is slow to talk about your own thing because you're such a stellar proponent of Usenet etiquette, is that it? So much for leading by example, I guess. Conveniently you are mum when it comes to booting from TM volumes. Nothing more to say on that one, eh? Thought we'd forget you said it wasn't possible? >> And no, old backups aren't "mostly actual files and not fake hardlinks" >> either. > > That is nothing that I've have written. You've attributed the wrong > person. See above. You're not one to spam this news group repeatedly about Usenet etiquette when you can't even bother to set a good example. Replying to a sub-thread with an off-topic post is rude and frowned upon. >> And yes, you definitely can boot from Time Machine backups. I've done it >> plenty of times. > > Good for you. I wouldn't trust it. There are way to many complaints of > failed TM backups on the net for that. Heh... As if that means anything. There are complaints about *everything* on the net. I notice when I search Google for "MTNewswatcher problem" there are over twenty thousand hits - yet here you are using it. I guess you shouldn't trust it either, eh? Way too many complaints! -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
