So, now I'm impressed.

After a hard day upgrading the Mac I thought I would sit in front of the box for an hour and rewatch an episode of Stargate Universe just for a break. I fire up the PC in the living room and ITunes shows the list of episodes on my library but when I tried to play it; nothing.
Checking on my library, the three pilot episodes have been deleted. I know they were there someplace but in the reorg of my Mac they got trashed.
I'd never actually used Time Machine in earnest before so I was pleasantly surprised at the ease with which the backups were found from a few days ago and restored not to their original positions but to the new directory where I had placed the iTunes library.
Time machine is a brilliant bit of kit!
