[QUOTE="soulnchain, post: 1194501, member: 155506"] I have a question about formatting and restoring... Say my MBP is running slow because it has pieces of files here and there, the drives are fragmented and the registry has some wrong entries (do MACs suffer from this?). Now, before i format it I go ahead and use Time Machine to create a backup. I format everything and re-install OSX. Once it has finished I use time machine to restore all my Apps and files. Here's my question: If I backup a messed up file system, fragged HD and corrupt registries, does this mean that Time Machine will re-copy all the messed up settings one I restore? Understand what I mean? If i make a photocopy of a scratched picture, the photocopied picture will also have scratches on it! Thank you for you help!!! [/QUOTE]
