Performing a synch with the drive was easy, and after a couple of hours everything was just where I left it&#8211;right down to my Dock icons, desktop picture, and app preferences.  (James Duncan Davidson provides <a href=\"http:\/\/duncandavidson.com\/2008\/01\/restoring-from-time-machine.html\">more detail<\/a> on a similar (albeit planned) experience.)  I was especially pleased to see that all my NetNewsWire clippings &amp; tabs came back in place.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve encountered only a little strangeness so far: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In Adobe Contribute, my local drafts are present, but the app preferences seem to have gotten partially lost.  I&#8217;ll pass my info along to the CT team.  I did lose some material I&#8217;d worked on over the weekend (as Saturday night&#8217;s Time Machine backup failed for unspecified reasons), but the rest of the drafts look recoverable.\n<li>Photoshop held onto my serial number, but it asked to be reactivated (which transpired successfully)\n<li><b>Update<\/b>: iTunes lost my authorization info.  Hopefully I haven&#8217;t now burned another authorization.  Also, Ambrosia&#8217;s iSeek and Snapz Pro have lost their registration info.  QuickTime Pro seems unaffected.<\/ul>\n<p>Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions below.  The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macupdate.com\/info.php\/id\/21899\/letterbox\">Letterbox<\/a> add-on for Apple Mail seems to do a great job enabling Entourage-style three-pane viewing, but I haven&#8217;t tried it extensively.  I&#8217;m really torn about leaving my old friend Entourage, especially as Mail apparently doesn&#8217;t offer the ability to accept\/decline meetings sent through the Exchange server.  Efficient incremental backups sound pretty appealing, however.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m now going to try using Time Machine with a Drobo.  It seems that it&#8217;ll be possible to store a large photo collection (which wouldn&#8217;t fit onto the laptop drive) alongside the Time Machine data file.  If anything interesting develops, I&#8217;ll pass along the info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hats off to all the Apple folks responsible for Time Machine: I&#8217;m pleased to report that restoring my Mac from the data stored on my Time Capsule went off without a hitch.
