[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1414885"] It's "losing" but of course if you haven't been making backups before now you've been at a high risk of losing your files anyway. There is very little chance that you will lose anything in the upgrade, but only a moron would do a system upgrade without a backup. So you should make one. You can use Time Machine, or [URL="http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html"]SuperDuper[/URL] or [URL="http://www.bombich.com/"]Carbon Copy Cloner[/URL] or whatever else you like, but get an external drive and make a backup. Not just before you do the upgrade, but RIGHT NOW. As I say, you are currently at high risk of losing your data. [/QUOTE]
