[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 991623, member: 101749"] Depends on what you are upgrading to ?? 10.5 has options to Archive and install or a clean install and the Snow Leopard by default will do a Archive and Install .... As it stands the A&I will bring your system back to the exact way you left it in the old. But as you said BACKUP as nothing is fail safe and even though its a product, it is still prone to failure. If you are upgrading to SL once done dl [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959"]10.6.2 Combo Update[/URL] straight from the website. DONT do the System Update for that one, as it has a few flaws. Then the next thing all your 3rd party apps will need to be updated and [URL="http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/"]HERE[/URL] is a link to the SL compatible Software ... Hope this helps Cheers [/QUOTE]
