I have an OCW external hardrive and wish to back up my files to it. I amcurrently on 10.2.8 OS X (jaguar) Besides wanting to copy the files as a backup - I am also wnating to install Tiger and want to make sure I don't lose any of my files. I want to go to the "Home" icon and drag the folder into the HD icon on the desktop but I notice that I have store some application files like my scanner installer, upgrade on I-Tunes, flash player, real one, yahoo msg,., etc. Because of a posting by Mr. X who said the following "but when I dragged the home folder into the LACIE FW HD icon on the desktop, it tells me, "One or more items can't be copied". I wonder if I would have the same problem because these are applications and not just word files or pictures?
so my question would I have to take the folders out that have the other files I
downloaded before copying?
I notice you replied and said that the Library should also be copied as not to lose e-mail or bookmarks and that is something I definitely want to copy.
mahalo for you time
