Hi List,
I want to create an SOE style backup of my machine - so not just the
OS and
those settings (hopefully all the network settings and locations)
but those
of all the applications as well.
So if I have to restore it is all in the one box so to speak.
What do people recommend for this? Do I need to boot from the system
CD's to
perform the complete backup or will files be locked and not included?
The last time I did this was under OS9 and the world has changed
much since
then.

Hi Aurora
Superduper is your friend ... free copy to start with available here :-
<http://www.shirt-pocket.com/>
The free version will erase the disk you are copying to and then copy
all
the necessary files off your hard drive including your user files .
Unless you are on a recent intel mac , recommend a firewire external
drive .
With the firewire external drive you can boot from that drive and then
copy back
to your normal Mac if you need to .
Pay for the extra's on Superduper and you can be selective about what
you copy
eg : System and NO users
or
Users and no system
Your settings for the applications you use will be in your User folder ,
including Mail & Bookmarks & application preferences .
Various people have different preferences , so your's will be in your
user file
while another user wih their own account will have their prefernces in
their user file
Have fun
Bob
