backup

[treebark7182]

what is the best way to back up your system??? i want my itunes to be the same as it was my iphoto etc.. after i wipe my drive and start from scratch. speaking of which if i boot from my system restore cd 1 and install will it wipe my drive and get it the way it was out of the box?? I have a mirror powermac dual 1ghz if that means anything.

I simply copy my User folder to my Firefly, but if you don't have something that large it's a little difficult with X - especially w/ the iAps since important data seems to be kept all over the place and you have to know where to look.
