Once you turn on the TM drive it will start automatically. Remember that the next backups will be incremental not a full back up (First BU is a full backup).I have chosen to only do full backups so every time I run TM, I format the TM HD and then the whole machine gets backed up. Just my style.Another thing to know is it seems TM does a sector by sector backup so if you do heavy editing / Photoshop work, your drive will get messed a bit and I run iDefrag prior to MONTHLY backups to get the files back in good order (defragged). TM on a FULL backup records the HD exactly as it is and will return it that way.I am using Leopard right now 10.5.8 and have not upgraded to SLeopard.</blockquote>
