Time Machine Question

Aspect · 20 Jan 2008 at 21:28

Say you have everything backed up with time machine, then you put a fresh image on your machine. Is there a way of syncing your last snapshot of files back on to your machine?

Does this make sense to anyone?

So if i got a time capsule, would i need to backup my files in the traditional way as well as using time machine? Thats what im getting at really.

How would you do that then?

Don't bother with ^

Create a full snapshot with Time Machine.. then when you reinstall Leopard choose to have the data imported "from a Time Machine backup" on the Leopard installation wizard.

That's exactly what i was after. Glad to know it can be done. Cheers mate
