Hi Phil Always maintain a current system backup. Now that you have it registered, I suggest you use Super Duper!'s "Smart Update" facility. This is well discussed in the system archives, but I also suggest you have a read of Lynne's article regarding system backup which is on our blog. You can find it at the below URL: <http://mac-ios-access.net/2011/07/07/mac-osx-system-backup/>
