[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1427429, member: 24098"] They should be, yes - but anything is possible when you make a major change to your computer, so it is ALWAYS recommended to do a full backup prior to making such a change. I wouldn't even think twice about Mountain Lion if you don't have an external hard drive with a solid backup. You can do it that way, and indeed, most of us that have been through this a time or two, usually prefer a clean install. But since the advent of new OS X releases being made available from the Mac App Store, it seems that Apple is pretty confident that their upgrade process is pretty bullet proof.. [/QUOTE]
