I hope to soon be replacing my flaky core duo imac with a slightly newer core2duo. I am currently using snow leopard, and will be starting out with the same on the newer machine, with the possibility of upping to lion later. I would like to be able to simply copy my entire hard drive contents onto the new machine. In past upgrades i recall having to reset permissions on numerous directories and still not always getting everything copied over via network, like the contents of Mail for instance. Is there software, preferably within SL or available free, that will allow me to simply copy the entire thing without all the hassle? Looking to do this over a network as i don't have an external drive. Thanks for any info!
Yes, Carbon Copy Cloner does exactly what you want. I've used it literally over a thousand times without any trouble. When it's done, you boot off the copy and it is just like the original.
It was free but not it is not, I don't know how much they are charging for it. They do have a trial deal but I don't know about it.
