Otherwise, I don't use TM, I'm using another solution. It won't restore entire system and installed apps, just my files. So with TM, it was Murphy I guess.

This is actually how I have TM set up. I ignore anything not in ~/Documents (or any other location with personal files). The other stuff is so easily replaceable that I'm not concerned if I lose it.
