A few more little oddities with my Time Machine restore.
1. Mail needs to be completely re-imported. So the caches for Mail are not maintained in Time Machine. This is interesting but not surprising. The files that those caches are built from are maintained. And you can restore individual messages via the time machine interface. But I'm still waiting for 27,861 messages to 'import'. Some how I suspect the 9 minutes remaining estimate is a bit off.
2. Deep node traversal is problematic on the first backup. If you ever to a time machine backup and it takes for ever to get past the 'preparing to backup' then you've seen the deep node traversal thing. If you're geeky like me you also notice these lines:
Dec 15 23:53:39 rwhiffen /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[340]: Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:kFSEDBEventFlagMustScanSubDirs|kFSEDBEventFlagReasonEventDBUntrustable|
in your /var/log/system.log (you'll have to sudo to read it from terminal or use the console.app).
I also noticed this gem:
Dec 15 23:53:39 rwhiffen /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[340]: Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
Uh oh...don't like the sound of that. "Little Snitch" also complained that it's rules database checksums didn't match. I guess this is understandable, but it makes me wonder what else isn't the same.
