Rocking Time Machine
Recently, the hard drive in my trusty Mac Mini decided it was going to have problems. Running some diagnostic tests revealed that it has some bad sectors. I had another firewire drive on the shelf, so I plugged it in and booted from my Leopard DVD. The Leopard Installer allows you to access several utilities including the Time Machine recovery functionality. So, I selected my Time Machine drive and asked the utility to recover my machine to my spare firewire drive. In a little under two hours, my machine was up and running again — booting from that spare firewire drive. The recovery process was simple and worked flawlessly. I’ve never been very good about properly backing up my data. Thanks to Time Machine, I don’t have to worry about it any more.

Brian, It's Andy's friend Brian from long ago, and until recently far away. I just recently moved back to the Spartanburg area after being in Virginia for school and Atlanta for work. I was searching online, and came across your website. Looks good! How is everyone at the Corbin compound doing? I was hoping to get Andy's phone number and reconnect with him now that I'm back in the area. In the mean time, I'll practice tying my fat knots and checking back for updates to the website.
Now if only we could get the time machine to run as a JFSERVICE2.0BETA.
