[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1529848"] This is incorrect. Time Machine backs up *EVERYTHING* on the boot drive. No exceptions unless you the user choose to exclude something. It does indeed back up the OS, apps, etc *everything.* What it does NOT do is back it up in a bootable form (ie a clone). But you can indeed do a FULL system restore from a TM backup. [/QUOTE]
