This is such a newb question, but this is my first OS upgrade... whats the best way to copy all my files to my external HD, just in case anything should happen? 😱

Well, I just hate the idea of something going terribly wrong in the upgrade process and me losing all my video, pictures and music 😱

Super Duper'd to my external drive, plus FTP of a SuperDuper image to another box.. hopefully that will surfice 😛
Haven't decided on the upgrade or reformat approach yet. I'd rather not reformat as it contains all my website and the ssh settings that I cannot remember how to set up !

DiskUtility works perfectly well and creates bootable backups (running it while booted from other than the source drive and using block copy). Copy and paste of user data is fine, but not very good for the rest.
I guess I'm agreeing on the tools (3rd party) - haven't used CCC for many years now (after some frustrating failures). I hear SuperDuper is ok, but I don't see the advantage of either over using DiskUtility (or command line ASR) for cloning.
