Well, I just found out that I'm running mac os x lion 10.7 and that 10.7.2 is out. Do I have to get a disc from apple to get lion 10.7.2 or is there somewhere else I can download it from? If so where? Thanks.

Click the apple in the upper left hand corner, select software update. It will come up with 10.7.2 if you don't already have it.

Seconded.

I've had my MBP upgraded for a while and now just upgraded my MP.

The MDS/MDWorker/MDWorker32 processes still occasionally hog system performance, but I'm sure 10.7.3 will fix that.
 
Should I make a backup disc before doing this?

----------

Ok, wait. I just clicked about this mac and it says that I'm already running mac os 10.7.2. I don't remember downloading this though. I did do a software update but I don't remember it saying that was included in the software update. Well, I have on question about 10.7.2 then. I have heard that people are having a problem watching flash videos like youtube on lion (I've even had this problem). Since I already upgraded will I not have any more problems watching youtube videos? Thanks.

I have had no problems with youtube or any flash videos on my Mac with Lion.

You should backup your computer. Regardless of OSX upgrades.
 
Options for backing up

How do I go about doing that? Also what would I need to do that?

You have numerous options… the first question to answer is to what degree of backing up do you wish to accomplish? RAID setup for redundantcy or a simple external USB drive.

After that you could just use OS X built in Time Machine to back ups or get a useful cloning app like SuperDuper!

Hope this sends you in the right direction in persuing your back up needs :)
