10.5: A warning on unsupported Time Machine solutions
Authored by: Sven G on Thu, Dec 20 2007 at 2:32AM PST

I answer myself, here: I just tried to restore wirelessly from the Leopard DVD, and indeed - after logging in to your AirPort network form the Menu Bar - it immediately does find the AirDisk, with its sparse image Time Machine backup (another login required, to your AirDisk); but it takes a long time (about half an hour, in my case, over a "g" wireless connection) to open the backup, and then also to compute the space required for restoring. Anyway, it really seems to work (I didn't actually restore form the backup, but everything else worked flawlessly)...
