My wife's iMac uses the Intel processor but still runs
one of the last versions of Tiger and we plan to upgrade it to
Lion.
We plan to save her home folder on a thumb drive in case
the upgrade should go South. Will the Tiger version of
diskutility do this for us? Most thumb drives I have seen use a
FAT32 file system so we will need to reformat it.
I have a Mac here at work sitting right in front of me
but it is running snowleopard so anything I know about it may
not apply in tiger.
I just want to save all the customizations she put on
the system and don't care at all about the operating system as
it will be replaced.
I will be using voiceover to reformat the thumb drive
and will probably just copy her home folder to the new drive as
a safety measure in case the upgrade melts down.
The only other thing I might want to save are the
network settings so as not to have to rebuild them from scratch.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
