[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1575085, member: 131855"] Best practice is to make a backup of anything important just in case there are are problems. I've done numerous updates without backing up but it's not the smartest thing I've done. Couple of questions / suggestions: 1. Are you planning to run any older PowerPC software? If so remember that 10.6.8 was the last OS version that could run that software. 2. If you are concerned about whether you will like Mavericks or have problems use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable copy of the current setup before starting the upgrade. If you don't like it you can use the clone to restore your system to its current state. [/QUOTE]
