Hi everyone! I am new-ish to the world of iMac, I have a 6 month old 27" Imac i7.
I use time machine to back up my entire system as advised by many. I am at OS X 10.6.5.
I know this some time away but when Lion is released I would like to do a fresh install then use time machine to restore my and my girlfriends data. I have read that time machine backs up all system files as well. So my silly question is will it be as simple as doing a clean install of Lion, plugging my USB back up drive in, and selecting restore from back up?
I appreciate that Lion is still way off but we have lots of photos and videos of the family plus lots of media in itunes!
Thanks in advance for your help!
