[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1365498"] Maybe, maybe not. Rosetta Store is likely to have more than just the app itself as a component in the system. You would have to either carefully restore each component of a normal install back to the way it was, or roll back the ENTIRE system to before any accident happened. The key phrase here is "without me actually having the software." Why is that? I'm not questioning the authenticity of the software but particularly with this company, that's obviously an issue with them. You may need to order replacement disks (probably should have done so last time). In re-reading your post it sounds like you have everything working correctly now but are worried about a possible future outcome. Good for you, planning ahead! I would recommend that in addition to the TM backup, you purchase another external drive and use software like [URL="http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html"]SuperDuper[/URL] or [URL="http://www.bombich.com/"]Carbon Copy Cloner[/URL] to ALSO create a bootable backup of the drive on which this software is stored. That way you have two chances of successfully restoring the software should anything go amiss. You can never have too many backups! [/QUOTE]
