Yes, but does it have the ability to do an update like Time Machine? After creating an image which could take hours can I just do an update to backup the changes for the image?
removing extra languages from an app speeds up the loading
and the 'bounces' are the number of times the icon bounces on the dock whilst loading

I will be using TM, but right now I use SuperDuper!, free without this function, but you have to pay to have the quick update backup
I asked the same question earlier. It's "get info" when you ctrl+click on the application icons in applications folder. You can disable other languages.
Edit: Wow. Someone replied before me. And with pictures!
More questions,
Is the external drive thats used for backup by Time Machine encrypted? I really hope that you can configure Time Machine to do a 256-bit encryption to protect the data from theft (Software encryption of course).
And does Time Machine automatically defrag the external drive? Might be a silly question but would like to know what house keeping does it do on the back end.
And what happened if there is a bad block on the backup drive, how does Time Machine recover from it. Does it just report the damaged file on the drive or does it give you the ability to go to a previous version.
And will Time Machine support ZFS?

Well, since you are always going against me as a "fanboy", it's not surprising that you single out my remarks for your "enlightened" answers.
I couldn't care less about SJ and his billions, but I value his contributions as a "keeper of the Apple way"; indeed, without happy customers and "fanboys" like me, Apple would be nonexistent as of now. We were the ones believing in the company and buying its products when everyone else was screaming "down with Apple" or "Apple is doomed".
I was among the ones using System when it was still a closed "System", and I cherish that. I played with SCSI when any other PC was with IDE. I had ADB and the Apple Extended Keyboard II when you guys had serial crap.
With "on the fence" attitudes like yours, I am sure Apple would be getting nothing by then. Instead, I am sure those "rational customers" would have jumped ship a long time ago, be it for Amiga, Linux, Sun or the grand ol' PC.
Once more, NO thanks; I will be waiting for clear arguments on why Windows with a PC is better than OS X with a Mac. Apart from gaming and custom apps, there is nothing of an argument from your part to defend Windows...I know it's difficult to see why we like it so much, especially when you are unable to see that the key is seamless integration and design made FOR the customer, and not the opposite, where the customer has to adapt himself to whatever crap these companies do. That's why:
1 - the iPod is still the best;
2 - the iPhone is shocking the mobile world;
3 - the Mac has always been better.
Well, you have always known it, right?
I'm with him. But I think Apple is still developing its overall product strategy in that they have a "lifestyle" or "a way of doing things" that they envision that's not quite there yet, at least not all the way revealed, and I think Apple users are constantly adapting to what's the latest and greatest in that little vision as they reveal it over time.
I don't know about you guys but I love the fact that my iPhone syncs with my Mac which syncs with my AppleTV....then the results get put up on my 32 inch Samsung flat screen. (at least media wise)
I don't know if any of you guys realize this....but alot of the information in "View Options" in iTunes is also information you can use to make Smart Playlists and it's information that's updated as part of the sync between Mac & iDevice/AppleTV.
I can't wait to see what Apple has for collaboration and and the "calendaring/ToDo list" part of it. I think iPhone, and Video conferencing are just the start. I think there are some fascinating capabilities in the new iCal that are meant to be a part of it too.
What's great about Apple is they got their security, stability, and compatibility down. Microsoft still seems to advertise those things as main features more often than not. I think Microsoft talks about these things.....Apple does them. Steve Jobs said that once. I think it was at the Tiger Intro Keynote when he was unveiling Spotlight. The Apple cult is moving forward and has been, I think, since 2001. The Micro-softies...I can't say so much for.

Let this day be noted as the day of 'My First Encounter'
I ignored the user error.
I was going to comment on it but I decided to delete it. It explains why my previous reply is after yours.
512MB is a small partition on a 1TB drive
hihihihi, i meant GB. check my original post. it says 512 GB. Not sure where you got the 512 MB. lolz
Another question, is the data backup scheme proprietary to Time Machine or can I access the files through the Finder?
512MB is a small partition on a 1TB drive
Apple came up with a fantastic compression algorithm that lets you backup 1 TB of data to a 512 MB partition. Not sure how they do it. But they are amazing!!!
You can say it's almost magical.
The entire universe would have exploded, just like Christopher Lloyd predicted in ''Back to the Future.''

In a Capt. Mainwaring tone of voice: "I wondered who'd spot that one first!"
Sorry, OT but couldn't resist.....No way, it would have been better if he popped into an existing iChat where SJ was romancing that gal out to a dinner date.
Finally got round to downloading this overnight, I'm pretty excited for the new OS now Some features look like they will make everything a little bit easy. Data bits (or whatever they were called) are going to come in so useful, and all that stuff about notes, quick look and the new Finder interface, not to mention Time Machine just looks spectacular.
I really can't wait now! Hoping it doesn't run too bad on my PowerBook so I can have both my Macs on Leopard.

I can't wait until they come out with Virtual Camp to virtualize the CPU by using "Intel Virtualization Technology" and partitioning or sharing the hardware so that you can run OS X and Vista side by side on the same Mac. It would be great to switch instantaneously without the need to reboot.
Has anyone tried installing two copies of Mac OS X switching back and forth using Boot Camp? Is Boot camp limited to just two host operating systems?
