Move user home folder... Safe?

[frogywill]

I am going to install a SSD in my MacPro, probably will re-install SL from scratch.
I will move my user folder to another drive, since the SSD is too small.

Is moving the user folder 100% safe? Should I look out for any issues after/before I move it ?

Thanks!

Do a backup before doing anything.
Use the Migration Assistant to copy your old HDD user to the new SSD.

yeh do a backup, then you can muck around!

you can move the home folder by right clicking your username in Accounts preferences and choosing advanced. also make sure you put a symlink in /Users that points to your moved user folder.

Will Time Machine back up both drives?
Also is it possible to move the entire "users" directory or is it just on a per user basis ?
