Well if it's any help, I let SuperDuper back up my entire startup volume on my Mac Pro last night, and then first thing this morning applied the combo update. Everything seems to have gone without a hitch so far. I'll evaluate the machine during the next day or two to make sure everything is in working order, and will make a decision about whether I want to roll out the update to the other machines I manage. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

I should note also that I did run Disk Utility's "Verify Disk" and "Verify Permissions" commands before I made the SuperDuper backup. I haven't run either of those commands in months and months. Neither needed repair. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.

Everything seems to have gone without a hitch so far. If one has SuperDuper-ed a drive, installed on a clean drive, is it preferable to update the OS first, or is it all right to run Migration Assistant first? Is it easy to avoid creating a new user if taking the first option above? -- John McWilliams

Personally, I'd get the system up-to-date completely *before* attempting to migrate my data. By "installed on a clean drive", do you mean you erased the drive and installed from scratch on a blank volume? Since you have a backup, why wouldn't you simply install the 10.5.6 combo update over what you had? > Is it easy to avoid creating a new user if taking the first option above? I'm not sure I understand the question - or more to the point, I'm not sure i understand exactly what you had before you started, and what you did / how it has changed. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
