You can, and I have
Simple. I've got the vault and one other backup anyway, so I'm not bothered.
Apple has now updated their support article to make this the work around rather than that "manual TimeMachine" silliness.
Got a tip for us?

Time Machine + Aperture Bug

Apple has now updated their support article to make this the work around rather than that "manual TimeMachine" silliness.
From apple support page:-
"Aperture: Set Time Machine to exclude Aperture library from automatic backups
Issue or symptom
Running Time Machine backup or restore operations while Aperture is running may lead to inconsistencies in the Aperture database.
This issue is resolved with Mac OS X 10.5.1."
Done
Where does it say that? I've just checked the support document and it makes no mention of it being fixed. It was updated today too, according to the page
But right under that it says solution then instructions on how to tell time machine to ignore your library
EDIT: Hmmm, now that I look again it seems that the "Fixed in 10.5.1" has been removed
Hmmmn, certainly looks that way.
It DID say that on that page, but now the "fixed in 10.5.1" line has definitely vanished.
Oh well....10.5.2 anyone????
You don't need to exclude the library, all you need to do is eject the back up hard drive or turn off TM while running Aperture. You could even just disconnect the power (if on a laptop) and TM will be disabled.
Aperture really screwed up!
Wish I'd been paying attention to MacRumors earlier. The Leopard bug has caused many of my photo files to be flagged as offline. That is, my boot hard drive is off line, according to Aperture!
The Apple solution is to the problem is like telling Firestone tire owners to slow down. I wouldn't be so torqued if the Apple reference included an Aperture fix but so far I haven't found any threads on the issue of lost master files.
The geniuses at the Apple store have never heard of the problem.
Happy New Year,
