TIME AND AGAIN

Did I mention what a splendid application the Time Machine is? On the iMac.

I just 'lost' my 7000 or so image photo library.

I just opened Time Machine and went back an hour and restored the whole thing.

I might have found the file somewhere. Lurking in the finder files somewhere.

But I restored it in 5 minutes with the trip backward.

This is not the first time I used it. Several other occasions.

I can't restore non-Mac applications though. Or at least I haven't found a way to do it.

Any comments?

    You should be able to restore anything. Time Machine has a special relationship with some Mac apps (e.g. Mail.app, iPhoto), but you can also launch it as a standalone application from the Finder. Then you can restore any file on your system.
