if there's a reason you need to disable the TMSafetyNet kext or use the bypass tool bundled inside it, *please* file a Radar explaining why. it's extremely rare for anyone to need to do this, and playing around inside the backup may cause subtle-or-maybe-not-so-sutble problems.

please note that on 10.7.0 and 10.7.1 you may experience an incorrect preflight for the next incremental backup performed after using the 'associatedisk' verb. it's just an estimation issue; the entire disk will not be copied.
(no need to file a radar.)
