wasn't sure whether to post this in the software section or here.... ill go here!
been given a £20 itunes voucher and want to buy lion!
i have a 2010 13" MBP but worried about backing it up.
now if i back up using time machine, and then clean install Lion (using bootable usb) will the time machine backup of my snow leopard MBP restore ok on lion i.e itunes music, documents etc?
i hate the whole drag and drop rubbish, but i wont know if the backup as been successful or not until ive installed lion which then it will be too late!
will time machine defo work or is there an alternative?
