I tried to search for this but couldn't find anything after looking through many pages.
I performed a clean install of lion. I tried to restore a folder from time machine, but was told that the Permissions differ. I have the same user name/short name and in fact copied over files from migration assistant.
I am now considering doing another clean install, and not using migration assistant. Instead, I want to use the same username/shortname but migration assistant obviously copied over my old user preferences which defeated the purpose of the clean install. Can I do this and access my time machine files once more? When I use time machine to backup will it consider my MBP as a new computer and do a full backup of ~60 gb rather than a delta change 5 gb?
