my 24" 2.8ghz iMac went down with a bad hard drive on Friday afternoon ouch!
I use TM to back up to a 3Tb ReadyNAS NV+ which sits on my home network. So, after swapping in a new drive (thank you next day guaranteed from Amazon £53) and some Terminal advice from the guys at readynas.com's mac forums I left it running a 'full system restore from TM' and went to bed. Got up this morning to my mac just as I had it on thursday, every app, website login, network pref and folder. Most I had to do was OK the mailbox rebuild and re-authorise my iTunes purchases
Nice to know that should the worst happen you can trust your TM backups to do the biz.
