[QUOTE="Tom72, post: 513977, member: 40430"] I am attempting to restore our system from an external HD to a G5 iMac using Backup from .Mac. The Backup plan saved the entire Mac HD, and I have been able to restore the applications we want. However, I can't locate any user folders except the shared one. As far as I know these user folders have the library, music and photo folders that I really want to restore, but I can't access this information. I assumed that since the user folders are within Mac HD that everything would be saved. Have I made a massive mistake, or is there some trick I am missing ? The size of the backup files on the external drive suggest that this information is still there, I just can't access it. Can someone help ? [/QUOTE]
