So I know apple removed the time machine backup to airport drives and pretended it never happened, but I was reinstalling Leopard last night from scratch. I selected to restore from time machine. On the next page, it asks me the location of the time machine backup, with a sub headline that if the backup is on an airport, then I need to connect to the airport first. Guess someone missed that one. Leopard Backup to Aiport Does Live. :-)

    The Time Machine restore didn't go as smoothly as I would expect. I had to reinstall a few programs though they were restored with the backup. I feel like there are some extra files on the hard drive too but that could be just me.

    You should send feedback to Apple. They may reply saying... "Hmmmm - maybe we will leave it there because TM using AirDisk will return in 10.5.2...".
