[QUOTE="zman2408, post: 1185929, member: 33377"] It's not nutty ... there is a noticeable difference in speed and responsiveness to my macbook when its freshly reformatted vs when its been getting used for a year. Not sure what you mean by doing it by hand ... im not using a magnet making 0's and 1's ... I let time machine do the backups and after I reformat I just drag and drop my aperture library, itunes library, mail folder, and documents folder. It takes about 10 minutes of my time, if that .... Put in the first disc run thru the menu really quick, go for a run, come back put in disc two go run errands ... transfer files done ... You sure did post a whole bunch of pretentiousness to basically say you don't know. . . Just for clarification ... I copied ~user~library~mail folder from my time machine back up and replaced the mail folder on my fresh install of OSX. This restored all of my RSS feeds, all of my Inboxes, all of my "on my mac" folders. Everything is back to how it was. But all of those folders "on my mac" are empty. Where would their contents be in time machine? I also replaced the mail downloads folder. But this folder only contains random .jpg/.gif/.doc/.wmv ect ... no actual msgs [/QUOTE]
