Hi

i have a 18 month old imac and 3 month old 13" macbook pro

im thinking of doing a clean install rather than an upgrade
(i cant find much info on people discussing the pro's and con's of each method which would be best for me)

i back up both machines with a 1tb tc wirelessly. My main question is if i do clean installs would tc recognise my machines and continue the backups as normal or would it consider them new machines and generate new backups. this would mean i would have 4 backups on tc 2 being old leopard backups no longer needed , if things go well with sl.. can just delete them.

hope im making sense....
