Time Machine Backups are Irrelevant

I've been patient up to now, but that ends here.

If all I'm waiting for is the ability to backup my Time Machine volumes, I don't really have any need for that. Time Machine is going to get turned off when I finally get to use SD again. Time Machine is useless for me, except as a stop-gap while I wait for SD to be ready for Leopard. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

Please release a version that works, with the caveat that it won't backup TM volumes. I don't care if it's perfect for everyone, it just needs to work for most of us right now.
