This question is directed to the many MacRumors forum users who recently installed Snow Leopard on their previously Leopard-operating machines, whether those be iMacs, MacBooks, etc.
I am worried that after purchasing Snow Leopard (for the meager price of 29 dollars, which is actually really sweet) and install it on my MBP that I will lose important files, whether they be word documents, song files in iTunes, Address Book contacts, etc. I do semi-regular backups on Time Machine (my external hard drive isn't connected as often as it should be), so I would obviously do a back up prior to 10.6 installation. However, I am still worried.
Case in point: Did you lose any files after switching to Snow Leopard on a machine that previously had 10.5? (please don't respond if you went from 10.4 to 10.6 on Intel machine). Is there any quality advice you might be able to offer me?
Thanks everyone - it's certainly much appreciated.
