Clean Install of Snow Leopard

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to these forums. I have a iMac currently running 10.5.8 I also have a Time Machine backup.

I bought a retail copy of Snow Leopard. My question is if I do and Erase & Install will Time Machine restore all my files? Should I do a backup to DVD before I begin?

I would just do an upgrade to 10.6 but that's exactly what I did when I got Leopard. I've never done a complete format and reinstall of the OS on my Imac since I bought it almost 5 years ago.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, time machine will do the restore, after a fresh SL install, when the mac boots up it will ask you if you have a time machine back-up
