WONDERFUL Time Machine in Leopard OS X!

My paralegal was working on a client's Filemaker Pro database with around 500 entries in it about the documents we have bates numbered etc.  Apparently, when she was OCR'ing documents a screen also popped up for Deleting the FMP database and when she meant to click the OCR dismiss the dialog box she instead deleted the FMP database === lost all 500 entries!  Obviously, she felt sick.  I felt worried, but relying on TimeMachine, thought there was an answer.

We opened up TM on the drive and went back an hour or so to the database before it was deleted and restored it = VOILA ,it came back, with all 500 or so entries == I decided to Keep Both and we'll delete the bad one once we check the new restored one.  But so far so good....TM is great!!!  It took all of 3-5 minutes to do it, by the way.
