[QUOTE="MartinS, post: 517154, member: 22279"] If your external drive is FireWire, create a bootable backup using SuperDuper!. (If it's not FireWire, you can't make a bootable backup.) When you've made your backup, disconnect the external drive and any other peripherals other than keyboard and mouse. Insert your Leopard DVD and perform a simple upgrade. Time Machine is part of Leopard. You cannot use it until Leopard is installed. Leopard requires an external USB drive, and so you cannot create a bootable backup using Time Machine. I have an external USB drive for Leopard, and an external FireWire drive to which I used SuperDuper! to back up once a week. When the Leopard-compatible version of SuperDuper! is released, I'll also begin doing this on top of my Time Machine backups. [/QUOTE]
