I'm not exactly a "power user" but to me the data management is fantastic. I found that a lot of negative reviews i read were simply Mac critics fishing for anything bad they could get their hands on, while "normal" users like me love it. Had no issues with the upgrade, and it certainly delivers on the "ooh shiny" that made me a Mac user in the first place :) So far I’ve had zero complaints about Leopard.

I only ask because this is the first Mac release that I've heard nothing but negatives about. I think Vista has a backup program more like Time Machine built-in, but since I disconnect the drives used a lot I needed something more manual. My hope is that once version 2 is stabilized, they'll integrate it with the built-in Sync Center for Vista. So, Leopard is working well for you?

I bought a 250 GB external drive, reformatted off all the windows crap, and plugged it in. took about a day to back up my whole computer (about 56GB - my hard drive is 80 GB), and now it backs up changes only. It keeps data for every hour for the current day, then keeps a daily backup for the current week, and a weekly backup for as long as there's room on the drive. And all in the background. It's pretty sweet :) Prior to this, i'd had my computer for going on 5 years without a backup! yeesh. Now i need to get my data off my laptop from Stevens before it decides never to start again. It's a 1998 Compaq that I already killed a hard drive on once :-P Enjoy your new software! I’m in love with Time Machine, the new Mac offering in Leopard.
