Comments on: Leopard, First Look http://blog.xcski.com/2007/10/27/leopard-first-look Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

So far, I'm about 4 hours into my personal Leopard install saga, with 0 machines actually running it yet, so I can't actually test it. Supposedly backing up to AFP shares works, while SMB doesn’t.

Our MacBook spends far too much time wandering around the house to even consider plugging in the NAS via USB to make it usable on a regular basis.

No folders show up for me to subscribe to, either. I know that my IMAP account supports it and this worked for me in the early developer build that Apple handed out when they first announced Leopard.

Do you know if you can use two different external drives for two independent Time Machine backups? I don't trust external hard drives enough to depend on just one for a backup.
