I guess I should have been a bit more specific. If I want to clone my Jaguar system to a new disk, and then upgrade that disk to Panther, what files do I need to copy (using Carbon Copy Cloner)? Is the list in the "Backing Up OS X" web page exhaustive? In other words, if I use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy: /Volumes/Backup/Applications /Volumes/Backup/Developer /Volumes/Backup/Library /Volumes/Backup/System /Volumes/Backup/System\ Folder /Volumes/Backup/Users /Volumes/Backup/cores /Volumes/Backup/private /Volumes/Backup/usr /Volumes/Backup/bin /Volumes/Backup/sbin /Volumes/Backup/mach_kernel /Volumes/Backup/.hidden will I have a complete copy of my Jaguar system on the new disk? I like Carbon Copy Cloner, and I've made several donations to its programmer, but I wish that it would default to just copying the files needed to clone the system.
