10.5: Make a bootable Time Machine backup drive
Authored by: beeflin on Sun, Dec 28 2008 at 2:39PM PST

I have had no problems with a 2 disk install. My Time Machine drive now contains the following: various invisible Unix items; the "Install Mac OS X and Bundled Software" app; an alias to "Install Bundled Software Only"; and folders named "Instructions", Xcode Tools", "Optional Installs" & "Backups.backupdb" - the last-named being, of course, my Time Machine backup folder.

I can boot from it, restore from it, whatever - nothing overwritten or broken.
