[QUOTE="hype.it, post: 43077, member: 4085"] The system files in OS X are protected from the user unlike windows. sure, if you really wanna hack it, customized it and try wrecking it, you can. Everything has permission levels and any changes that you make, you be asked for permission to confirm changes. The restore CD give you the ability to [b]install and replace the OS[/b] or [b]archive your home/user directory then install.[/b] For back up purposes, you can either use the above method or You can just drag/copy your data files to another partition for safe keeping. Then later, drag them back to the exact directory afterwards. The Mac OS is intelligent enough to understand what you have done. Your AddressBook entries are all stored in one place. [b]Users > (username) > Library > Application Support >[/b] [i]AddressBook[/i] Your BookMarks entries are all stored in one place.
