WTF? Okay, so I’m really impressed with Leopard overall and the installation and migration process was a breeze. But now I’m pissed. One of the biggest features I’ve been excited about most with the move to Leopard is Time Machine. So after following all the beta testing reviews over the past few months, I ordered the Iomega 500GB USB drive with Leopard from Apple’s online store to hookup to our Airport Extreme for wireless Time Machine backup.
But at the 11th hour, Apple pulled wireless support from Time Machine in the Gold Master release. What ? Dang-it! I’ve never been great at backing up home Macs, mainly because we have two of them which means moving an external drive around and not being able to schedule timely backups. I was all ready to do the right thing starting Friday.
Both Macs are backed up from the install process, but I haven’t even bothered to look at Time Machine yet because it won’t talk to the Iomega as a wireless NAS. Oh well, better not having it if it wasn’t working quite right, but I really hope it appears in 10.5.1 in a month or so.
