I tested Time Machine twice, but it's unneccessary for me. To waste a whole harddrive only for backups gives me the creeps. I never had data loss yet only except if I deleted something myself by mistake. And for these reasons I backup important files by myself.

And by the way, this thread shouldn't become an info page to show the functionality of Time Machine, this guide should be an information source for setting up a specified OS X system from the empty HD on, especially designed for beginners who probably do some more mistakes. And if somebody has to reinstall because his system crashed (and he had no second drive for Time Machine) he can try this one as an alternative.

Nasty EDIT: Don't trust Time machine too much - PingunZ one crashed a day before ;-)
