This is inexcusable. Aperture is APPLE's OWN PRODUCT! I can see it with third party apps. There are too many floating around for Apple to guarantee "works out of the box". But this is nonsense. Personally, I'm not an aperture user. iLife 2008's iPhoto is enhanced enough to be sufficient for my needs. As far as time machine goes, I'm installing Leopard next week. I don't think I'm going to use it. It seems less useful than superduper, in that it doesn't create a bootable backup. So, it seems that once there is a leopard-compatible version of superduper, there won't be much of an advantage to using Time Machine versus scheduled incremental backups created by superduper. The only advantages I can see are "eye candy" advantages, which isn't what backing up is all about. I guess its good for those who wouldn't back up at all otherwise, but I think I'll stick with superduper. You’re right. This is inexcusable. Aperture is APPLE’s OWN PRODUCT!
