[QUOTE="louishen, post: 1440377, member: 40142"] if I need to delete all the data on the internal drive to install ML No you dont, you can install straight over Snow leopard, unless tyou wish to do a clean install do I need to do a Time Machine back-up in additon to the clone before installing ML No, but it wont hurt to have both backups should I make a new clone of the internal HD with ML installed after checking all is ok, and then reformat the partion again to wipe out the SL clone for the ML clone? I would just go for a time machine backup once Mountain Lion is installed because I am doing all this for the first time should I fork out the money for CCC or SuperDuper to make these clones and just use TM for incremental back-ups Time machine is perfectly capable of restoring your mac should anything happen Do I need to do a complete back-up with TM after installing ML? Let Time machine be your backup once you have everything installed [/QUOTE]
