OS X booted up and I checked the version, 10.9.3. Jshbckr wrote:Update: I booted from the recovery partition (listed as 10.9.2 from the boot options), formatted the SSD and reinstalled. That is, unless someone from BlackMagic chimes in and says a patch is imminent. Looks like I'll be wiping everything and spending a whole day redownloading and installing my stuff. Of course I'm kicking myself for that now. I was set it up as a brand new computer so I had no documents, files, etc, that really needed backing up. I actually just got the Mac Pro very, very recently, so I hadn't even attached ANY backup to it. Apple just doesn't let you gracefully load an older OS on your machine so you can only go forward, at least it didn't when I tried that a while ago. You can't be that granular with a TM restore, although that would be a great new feature. But if TM has been running under 10.9.3, it won't help you go back to 10.9.2. If you completed a TM backup before the OS X 10.9.3 upgrade and had turned off TM, you would be likely fine to Erase and restore.

In practice it seems like Resolve is always a good candidate to TEST with a new OS before wholly committing to it. TEST could be an external drive just used for testing changes. PROD could be your internal flash boot disk on the Mac Pro. After your tests look good, update PROD with 10.9.3. It's extra work to do those critical tests but a relatively painless way to go back. If you run into trouble with the OS, reverting to an old OS is achieved by booting from the 10.9.2 partition. Test critical applications on the TEST machine by booting from 10.9.3. One partition, PROD, has a current OS such as 10.9.2 and when you do an upgrade you put that on the other barebones partition, TEST, for 10.9.3. That is to boot from an external disk with two partitions. In the future, one technique may be the easiest path to follow, but not ideal either.

Jshbkr, you don't mention how you have set your Time Machine options.
