TM will not backup the EFI partition.

But other than that TM works as you would expect.

Of course, any backup/restore strategy should be tested.

I use Time Machine since 10.9, perfectly with no problem.

But like RehabMan said, only the OS X drive is backed up, while the EFI partition containing Clover and kexts are not backed up.

Time Machine will help you fix problem if only OS X drive is messed up. If EFI partition is corrupted, you can run PBI CE again.

It can be used to restore your entire system volume to a previous point in time.

It works as designed, so what do you expect to hear?

I just want sure OS will works back without re-install kexts or something else, of course if only OS drive is messed up.
Use TM, select one point, sit back and wait for TM working, then i can continue my work, is that right ?

All except EFI partition (which plays an important role in hackintosh) can be backed up and restored with TM.

Like I said, any backup/restore plan should be tested prior to the point at which you need it.

Hi bro, How to enter Recovery Partiton from Clover boot ?

If you created a recovery partition during installation (depends on 2a or 2b method) it is available as a boot option in Clover.
