Restoring from Time Machine

Time Machine is one of the great new features in Mac OS X Leopard. And really, it’s about time an operating system sported a built in back up feature. Most of Apple’s marketing around Time Machine focuses on it’s ability to go back in time and pick out individual files that were deleted or lost sometime in the past. It’s only mentioned as a side thought that you can also use it to fully restore your hard drive in case of a crash. Restoring an entire disk, however, is the acid test of any backup system.
