Hi,

I have been helping a friend today upgrading his mac pro with new memory and an SSD to replace the default hitachi hard drive.

He is currently running Logic 8 on Leopard 10.5.8 and would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion / Mavericks.

I gave him two options to either do a clean install or to upgrade which would mean firstly upgrading to Snow Leopard and then upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks.

He needs to keep all his audio units / plugins and custom presets, settings for plugins.

What would be the best way to backup all the audio software settings and then restore after a clean install?

We tried upgrading to Snow Leopard after cloning his system drive to the new SSD and it said that Mac OS X cannot be installed onto this drive.

Any help / advice would be awesome!

Thanks.
