[QUOTE="honestone33, post: 1815929"] Whenever I do in clean, fresh installation of a new Mac OS (or even a version within the current one), I am offered the opportunity to "migrate/copy" needed "items" from my backup (I use SuperDuper!). From what I remember, there are 4 categories one can choose: Applications, Your Admin Name (which contain various files/folders), Other Files and Folders, and Computer & Network Settings. At a minimum, you would probably choose Applications, and Computer & Network Settings. But there might be other required files that you'll need in either or both of those other categories. As I mentioned, I use SuperDuper!, and on both of my Macs, all the "stuff" I have amounts to less than 75 gig. Any other files/documents, etc. that I access occasionally are on a separate partition on both of my external SSDs (the other two partitions on each of them are for my SuperDuper! backups for each of my Macs). Is there any way you can "see" what is contained in those 4 categories? [/QUOTE]
