Time Machine, yeah, the whole ball of wax bothers me.

Great idea, poor implementation. Feel free to read on and post the items that piss you off about Time Machine. I am sure the list is much longer than I am able to come up with.

• Can only “Back Up Now” by adding the Time Machine Application to your dock.
• No way to back up only specific folders, you have to manually exclude every single directory you do not want to backup.
• Applications will launch off the back up drive.
• The on/off button in System Prefs is stupid.
• Can not boot from backup.
• Need OS X installer CD to restore you data, not a “hot backup”.
• Is not incremental. One email to Entourage and thats 400MB of data that has to be backed up all over again. One pixel change to a 500MB .psd file, and thats 500MB to copy over again.
• Backs up active files, such as downloads and files in the process of being saved.

I assure you, these issues will not be fixed for a long time. Tru incremental backups, maybe not ever. I guess good news for SuperDuper! and CCC.
