Does Time Machine play nice with Aperture?
I picked up a conversation at the Flickr Aperture group that pointed to a problem between Time Machine in 10.5.2 and Aperture.
When Leopard was first released, there were issues backing up or restoring libraries while Aperture was running, so Apple recommended excluding it manually.10.5.2 fixed the bug, but had its own problem that if Time Machine backed up while Aperture was running, it would correctly skip the library, but would then back up the ENTIRE thing next time, regardless of what had changed.
10.5.3 fixes both bugs: Time Machine knows not to back up your library while Aperture is running, and knows how to incrementally back up your library when Aperture is not running.
And this got me thinking: maybe it is high time to do a disaster recovery of my Macbook Pro using my Time Machine backup. Since I have been using Aperture more and more these days, I don’t want to wake up one morning to find out that my hard disk has crashed and I lost all my images.
