How did you back up your Mac when you upgraded from Tiger to Leopard?

Question

Did you just buy an external hard drive & use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner or Disk Utility, or what did you use?

Did you just click & drag to the external hard drive? Were you able to back up your preferences too, and not just files?

Please give detailed instructions if you can!

Answer 2

I used an external hard disk, formatted it with a Mac file system in Disk Utility, then used rsync to copy my root file system across.

Answer 3

You can go to a computer store and they can do it for you. If you do it yourself its hard and takes a lot of time. I went to CompUSA and it was just $100 and it was perfect.
