Saaley. You were the one who went on about 512*512 icons. Anyway my main focus was on lack of anything new, the leopard thing was just an extra point.
Weird man. Mine works perfectly.
I double click WD > Opens up Window with icons neatly arranged > rightclick > show view options > Arrange by: None > icons go crazy > Close the window > double click WD again, icons are crazy > repeat those steps to get them back arranged.

One of the few overseas blogger I know, ShawnBlanch had written an entry where he says that Time Machine is more like an archiving tool that lets you get back old stuff. For a backup tool, he recommends SuperDuper.

Are you serious! 
I have an external hard drive too and I don't use Time Machine. I do want to, however.
(I once even credited Milind for one post.)

Yeah, when I'd joined MacUser, I'd asked you guys to send some tips my way every now and then whenever you came across any. And though no one has done it intentionally so far, I do manage to grab an idea or two from these posts every now and then. And I'm grateful for that.@Aayush:
Don't we just give you great ideas to write about

Well, I guess I'm the goat. For I get to ask this question:
Am I the only one who uses Time Machine?
@aayush-bhai: Didn't know about this offer. I will certainly send stuff your way now and then (Prepare to have your inbox bombarded with spam!)
Am I the only one who uses Time Machine?
Oh, And it's nothing like System Restore. That thing only restores your system, as in, program files and other such stuff. This backs up everything. And in the most elegant way possible

I saw like any other average joe (or rather an average Jaswant Singh) - till my Mac came. I'm fussy about the way my things look. Eye Candy is important - atleast for me.

Are you freaking crazy? System restore does NOT backup documents, emails and any other personal files you may have. It only restores a system to an earlier date. Your files remain the same.not hijacking the thread but the last time i tried system restore it brought back any and all of my dleted folders after doing a system restore and yeh i said this in the same post that its an eye candy way of backing up

sounds like another backup software. Then why did Western Digital HDD come to picture ?it is a backup tool.uses rsync I think
If its a hardware(ext storage), from Apple, does it have the following features?
Automatic backup to two partitions - recovary and standard
One button auto backup
automatic upload to online FUSE storage
eCryptFS based cryptographic highly encrypted online FUSE frontend
eCryptFS based filesystem mount
Built in Biometric scanner for Eye, Arm-Pit smell, thumb-print, blood and DNA security scan
10000 newton force endurance
fire proof
water proof
MRAM based storage
eSATA and FireWire - 3200
direct execution enabled(execution without RAM, directly via MRAM)
Biometric security based locker
LCD touch screen based onboard display to do basic operations like lock drive, enter password, etc
biometric and password protected file locking system
encryption of biometric and password data into file system to ensure un-accessability of any file unless correct code is supplied
10 TB of storage space
if it indeed has all the features I have listed, then it *might* just be worth buying.

And Time Machine is not all eye candy. It is intuitive. You know what those arrows mean even though there is no text to say so. Also, the way you can recover Photos, contacts, emails, is all pretty amazing. Of course there's no bootable version which is why many prefer SuperDuper, but you can very well restore a system using the OS X install DVD.
Time Machine comes free with Leopard.

System Restore in Windows is friggin' awesome! It saved my butt on a couple of occasions.
However, it does not deal with files. It only restores your system's settings and stuff. For example, if you install an application and Windows goes kaput (as happens once every three days), a quick system restore will bring back your system and the application will be uninstalled (i.e. removed from the registry and the other important places in Windows). However, if you go to Program Files, you'll find that it is still there.
Which means that it does not delete or bring back any files. In other words, not like Time Machine.
Time Machine is a part of Leopard. It is software, not hardware. As for what it does and which binary coded hexadecimal form of exterior architectural infinitesimal crap it uses - I have no freaking clue.

Or you could post them in this thread. Whichever suits you...
Duuude! You Lingeeks will never come out of that well.

you mean it does not automatically backup your data after on the fly encryption with biometric data online ?Time Machine is a part of Leopard. It is software, not hardware.

You mean it can't even just do some online backup ?
It doesn't use a highly recovarable file system ?
wow, does being a hardcore apple fanboy make you ignorant to technology ?
PS: I think I was talking about Time Capsule, not Time Machine
