PS, would love to hear more on this:

"More than once while beta testing new features I have found myself with an un-bootable system and using the Recovery Drive and Time Machine I have been able to selectively recover the entire system, or just my data files, or my data files and applications and I have never lost more than an hour's worth of data. Yes I could have recovered from a clone but not without significant data loss."

Hard to get my head around some of that, but very interesting.

How do you not have a bootable system? I don't think that has happened to me... maybe years ago.. not even sure.

And you use the edrive? -- I've hardly used that so rusty- should practice it.

And booting from TM? Can't get my head around that either. seems very complicated. I don't even think I have system on TM not sure.
