[QUOTE="rsmithgi, post: 857862, member: 47178"] Welcome to the Mac. I switched a few years ago after many, many years on PCs. I got a chuckle out of the fact that your first two questions were how do I install the OS and how do I backup. Windows has really taught you well..... I use SuperDuper for weekly full disk backups. I use Crashplan for daily backups of my data. I also keep really important stuff (photos, videos) on DVD. My wife has an iMac and I set her up with an external USB drive and Time Machine just because it is so seamless. I no longer have to worry about whether her computer is backed up. Most of my backup concerns now are over potential hard drive failure. I have very little concern about the OS messing things up or viruses killing my computer. I have been using Macs for over three years and have only installed an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. Never had to reinstall the same OS. [/QUOTE]
