[QUOTE="6string, post: 906686, member: 120039"] I backed up my whole computer (which had leopard 10.5.8) using time machine backup. I had apple apps as well as 3rd party apps, as well as all my music, photos, documents, etc. I did the clean install (erase my hard disk using disk utility when booted from snow leopard install disc), and then when the option came up after installation "transfer information from time machine back up", ticked the box, continued on to specify that I want all my apps, files, folders, settings, etc. Everything ran like clockwork, and lost nothing! It looks just like it did before the clean install, except I now have more free space on my HD, everything's moving faster, and a few extra features that didn't exist before :) Hope this is helpful *If you have any probs, let me know!
