How good is Leopard’s Time Machine?

I leave a hard disk on the floor next to the couch backing up with time machine. Today I was installing a new copy of vBulletin, but they use an awful disk structure of code+resources in one folder, so when I replaced my forums folder with theirs, I inadvertently wiped out the images that my forums user interface uses.

Well, time machine to the rescue!:

Navigate to my images folder

Click Time Machine on the dock

Click back arrow

See the missing “a2” folder, select it

Click restore

Upload files to server

Done!

Awesome, awesome, awesome.
