[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1424462, member: 131855"] Just one clarification about what Time machine backs up. It [B]will[/B] backup OS files but you [B]cannot [/B] boot directly from the backup without either: 1. Booting from some other disk/device first such as a boot DVD or Lion recovery partition and then restoring files from the Time Machine backup. 2. Installing OS X on the drive that you will be using as your Time Machine backup. [/QUOTE]
