Prepare your Mac for Snow Leopard – Backup, Time Machine, Clone, Fix errors, S.M.A.R.T Failures
Filed in Videos on Nov.07, 2009
I was preparing my MacBook Pro for the installation of Snow Leopard, and chose to share this with you guys what tasks I’m doing. I am archiving ancient files to an external hard drive. I then used Time Machine to backup my HD. Here’s my tutorial www.youtube.com If you want you can clone your Hard drive. This is my favorite way to backup because of convenience, and the fact that you can swap your hard drive. Here’s my tutorial on Winclone www.youtube.com Here’s the link to the program …

darn it!
I have nearly 700Gb of data to back up!
I reckon I’m going to upgrade my OS later on, so.
I didn’t have an external hard drive right now.

were you in a hospital?

please do man. Smart go though on waiting. I generally dont recommend upgrading an OS until its after a .3 (10.5.3 or 10.6.3)

fascinating, i didn’t reckon about that before. I upgraded.
Im not plotting on installing SL until an update is released, when that happens though i will try clean installing it, ill let you know how it works out.

hey no problem. I really dont blame you going back to regular leopard. SL is quite glitchy in numerous areas. Just curious, did you do a clean install or just upgrade? Reason why I questioned is because when I did the regular upgrade install, snow leopard was a huge headache. I was pissed. So I went back to regular leopard. Relieved cuz everything was normal. Then I did a clean install of Snow Leopard, and its a huge difference. Less problems with a clean install!

Thanks mate, worked successfully.
But after several hours of using snow leopard i went back to 10.5.8, but your tutorials are still very helpful.

it all depends on when you last backed up.. but whenever you last backed up with time machine, you can get that day! In fact i got stuff off of time machine from 2 days before i installed snow leopard
November 7th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
so if you delete something and it is backed up on time machine can you always get it back or is there a time when you can’t go back and get it?
November 7th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
i do recommend partitioning it though. I will be doing a tutorial on this.
November 7th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
that you can my friend!
November 7th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
Oh i forgot could u also use time machine on 1 harddrive more than once? or with something like the super duper clone.
November 7th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
Hey i was wondering i have the same harddrive u have..(WD)
Its a 230gb and i was wondering if i could like make it a backup and a super duper clone at the same time?
November 7th, 2009 at 8:12 pm

Does anyone know that for 10.4 users the disc can be an upgrade or must be clean install? I already heard the news the 29$ disc can and will place SL on a 10.4 imac, but I want to know if I really have to erase the HD and start all over for SL.
November 7th, 2009 at 8:12 pm

November 7th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
fantastic tutorial man… thanks a lot..!!
November 7th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
I just got snow leopard and I want to know how to place it on 64 bit kernel? They said you have to hold the 6 and 4 keys at boot time, but that didn’t work. If you know another way, then let me know and make a video of it. Thanks!!
