I was thinking only a few moments ago that it must be a few days now
since I've backed up, and I really must fire up the Time Machine disk
and let it do its thing.

A dialogue alert just popped up saying Time Machine hasn't backed up for
10 days, you should ought to back up, y'know? Nice to know the
application designers understand human frailty.

On that note, my Time Machine backup to a remote Samba share seems to be
working nicely. I'd probably have a hard time restoring my entire system
from it, so it's far from perfect, but it's certainly better than what I
had before, ie nothing.

Likewise here (again, thanks to Herve for getting me to look at it
once more).

Hmmm. I'll have to actually trial that from booting a Leopard disk.
There's no reason why it shouldn't work, unless the Leopard DVD
doesn't have SMB protocols running, or doesn't give a UI to mount a
remote drive.

I had backups already using Deja Vu, but this is neater and has worked
out more reliable.

The physics and scientific approach of Armageddon was criticized for its
poor adherence to the laws of physics. This has led NASA to show the
film as part of its management training program. Prospective managers
are asked to find as many inaccuracies in the movie as they can.

I'm not sure how you'd get it to show unsupported drives from the boot
DVD.

yup it's good also after 20 days, very possibly 30 as well.
