[QUOTE="mjb94, post: 991165, member: 68543"] So I decided to do a little mass cleaning and restore- heres what i did- i delete d all the stuff i didnt need and cleaned up some files. next In time machine i excluded system files then I backed up- after backing up i inserted my snow lepoard disk and partitioned my main harddrive and then i tried a few ways of getting my files back on. I installed snow lepoard and then tried to restore with my back up- no go, never found it, so i skipped that and just booted it up and went into migration assistant- that was useless. slowly i discovered that when the disk is connected I can see one part of it all thats in it is a macbook.sparsebundle> BUT if i connect and start backing up i can see a new partition named TIME MACHINE BACKUPS so i oopen and navigate to the one i want but i cant copy it back because after the back up iis done it goes away. I try recovering with time machine and it doesnt see it. SO how can i have all the files in the backup folder on my computer on a new snow lepoard keeeping in mind the system files arent in that backup [/QUOTE]
