10.5: Make a bootable Time Machine backup drive
Authored by: jbarley on Thu, Jan 24 2008 at 8:30AM PST

Time Machine creates a folder on the TM drive called "Backups.backupdb",
this is where all TM related stuff resides.
Even if or when TM does fill the drive it does so by filling all the "unused" disk space, never overwriting other existing data.
