Normal to see Backups.backupdb as a folder on a Time Machine drive?

    Is it normal to see Backups.backupdb as a folder on an external HD used
    for Time Machine? I'm surprised it's not showing up as a bundle. It
    seems like this makes the backup too easily messed with by newbies and
    software that looks for an available app and doesn't care where it's
    located.

    TIA,

    Plus I now see the privileges would prevent anyone from altering
    anything unintentionally. Now I think about it this is actually a really
    good idea. It's great being able to take a look at my TM backups this
    way :)
