[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1509700, member: 24160"] The time to have done it would have been during the installation of SL when it asked if you wanted to restore from a Time Machine or other backup. Actually, am not sure any longer if SL asks that or not. At this point you could use Migration Assistant - have never used it, but I believe it imports your stuff into a 2nd account, not the account you created when you installed SL. Or, boot from the SL install DVD and once the Installer starts running choose Utilities –> Restore System from Backup. It is best to connect via ethernet when doing this as it can take a long time - same as your first Time Machine backup. edited [/QUOTE]
