This may not be along the same line as the original post, but the part 
about backing up reminded me of a question I have been meaning to ask.  
I back up my home directory to another hard drive.  I do it by dragging 
it from my OS X disk to the back up disk.  When it starts to copy 
though, I get a message saying that some things are not able to be 
copied because of their permissions.  I click continue, and it proceeds 
to copy.  When it gets done, I check the file size and compare it to my 
home directory.  Both of them are the same (7.48 Gb).  Fortunately I 
haven't been in a situation yet where I have had to start over and use 
my backup.  Is there going to be a problem if that day comes?

Thanks,

Kevin
