[QUOTE="MacbookManiac, post: 1145770, member: 180458"] Hey guys, First of all I'm new here, got a macbook for over a year now, and I love it :) Now this. I want to update my Mac to Snow Leopard (got Leopard now), and because my Macbook will be totally reset, I want to backup my files. Now I've bought me a external harddisk, and now i want to put all my files on it. I set the harddisk as "use for time machine", and then it started to make a copy. But is that all you need to do? And how do I manually update it? Reason for posting this is that i really need the files on it, so I dont want to lose them because i forgot something! And, how do I, when I get my macbook back from the dealer, put all my files back on it? When I open the harddisk, I cant see no files, only one, called "*date*InProgress". I hope you can explain to me how this all works! Sorry if my grammar isnt perfect, im Dutch :) [/QUOTE]
