[X4U] X4U Digest, Vol 115, Issue 8

[Paul Moortgat]

I advised him to use SuperDuper instead of Time Machine.  He'll do so.
He's quite happy now he upgraded to 10.6.  Today he'll go to 10.9.

I suggest your friend use Time Machine to back up his entire system.  After he upgrades to 10.6, he can follow the onscreen instructions to reinstall whatever applications and/or user files from his old OS that he decides he wants to keep.

After the upgrade, he'll need to update all of his applications.

Good luck

Phil
