I want to close this subject. But there is plenty more to explore with how it works. Today I sat down with my brother (windows user) and explored just how it works, backup to recovery. Backup end, it's sweet! Everything I could want is recorded. If there is something I don't want backed up, I can easily exclude it. I can view my current backup, see old system states, and I have started to trust there encryption (the black box it is)
Recovery end works much the same way. For a full backup, I select the system state I want to restore, and hit a button. Then I get a message saying "wait for an email." This took a while when I tried it around 7PM CDT. I don't know how happy I would be if I actually had to wait all day to even start downloading my backup. On the bright side, For very large backups I can opt for fedex next day.
Processing Cost: $29.95 Shipping: $35.00 (FedEx Next Day *) DVD Cost: $x.xx ($0.50/GB) Total: $xx.xx
Not cheap, but if I had gigs and gigs of data, I'd consider it. Tomorrow, I will let you know how it went with my limited restore. Until mozy is ready for prime time, I will be using JungleDisk. Far more limited, but far fewer unknowns.
Lastly, I figured it out! I now know how to build spotlight searches.... My original thought was correct. Type in a complete query: kMDItemContentType = "com.apple.protected-mpeg-4-audio" This line will find all of your purchaced iTunes music, without finding any regular music using the same codec.
