Works great for me, but I don't use it to cover media files because
that collection is too big! I'm using a Drobo array for my audio.

You can boot a backup by wiping the disk and installing a new system.
During that process it asks if you want to restore from a Time Machine
backup. Recently went through that process with one of my laptops that
became terminally confused, and it was restored.
