Hi folks, this is a question for precautionary purposes. We have 3 Macbooks in 
my house all using Snow Leopard, Two of them are the Black plastic bodied 
Macbook (2.4 GHz core 2 duo) for kids ~2007 vintage I think and the other is a 
White plastic one 2.26 GHz (core 2 duo) ~2009 I think. They are all set up and 
using Time Machine for constant back ups. 

My question, if one of them were to have a fatal hard disc failure, can I 
either get the hard disc replaced, and restore it to its previous 
configuration, or buy a new Macbook and then configure the new Macbook to the 
same config? If I were to buy a new one, it would undoubtedly be a Lion OSx, so 
does this make in difference in the restoration process?

When restored, what settings will need further fine tuning - if any?

Hopefully someone can advise as I want to be sure that I am not living in a 
false sense of security thinking that the Time Capsule is my saviour when it 
may not be in the event of a failure.

Thanks.

Pete.
