[QUOTE="hugtheslug, post: 862183, member: 48841"] Time Machine will not erase any new applications you have, but will be able to restore any old apps / documents / photos / music etc using the backup from your previous Macbook. When you first start up your new machine you will be given an option to restore from a Time Machine backup. From then on if you want to use the same hard drive for backups, I believe Time Machine wil need to format the external HDD and start afresh, so I would check everything is present and working before allowing a new backup. I could be wrong so maybe someone with a little more experience will come along and help. Cheers :) Hugh [/QUOTE]
