What disastrous upgrade? I upgraded 11 computers without a single issue. They included PB's, Mini's, iMacs and PM's.Nermal said:After the disastrous Tiger upgrade I'm going to be formatting anyway, but it's not a necessity.
It is, actually, in the preview screen shots I've seen of Leopard.bep207 said:perhaps with time machine, the first option will be BACK UP! then lets install

dukebound85 said:if you do a clean install does the install discs of tiger for intel let you reload all the software that originally came on say my macbook?
if so how would i go about putting them on there?
if apple completely replaces ufs+ with zfs (which they might do) then yes, unless they give the option of either non-destructively converting the user's filesystem from ufs+ to zfs or allowing the user to use ufs+evanrousso said:Will all of my data have to be backed up and will my it reformat my drive?

Do you think this is how Time Machine is going to be implemented?from the article said:10. Clones with no ethical issues
The simple creation of snapshots and clones of filesystems makes living with ZFS so much more enjoyable. A snapshot is a read-only point-in-time copy of a filesystem which takes practically no time to create and uses no additional space at the beginning. Any snapshot can be cloned to make a read-write filesystem and any snapshot of a filesystem can be restored to the original filesystem to return to the previous state. Snapshots can be written to other storage (disk, tape), transferred to another system, and converted back into a filesystem.
God, that looks sweet. How likely are we to get ZFS in Leopard?kainjow said:
I wouldn't be surprised. I bet at least some part of Time Machine uses ZFS.gauchogolfer said:Do you think this is how Time Machine is going to be implemented?
You install then time machine takes you back in time to the point before the upgrade to back everything up before you install Leopard, genius.bep207 said:perhaps with time machine, the first option will be BACK UP! then lets install
