fonts, if you have a lot on your system that you've added. Photoshop brushes and shapes and stuff too if you've installed some of those.

I guess those two things are mostly for artists

Formatting can be really therapeutic I think I need to do this machine now haha

If you have the space, do a complete backup as well, that way you won't be kicking yourself when you realise you've forgotten something.

I usually only back up "Documents and Settings" (Windows XP), "System State" and the directory where I keep all of the install exes. I do not restore "Program Files", I reinstall everything.

mac or pc? don't forget licenses that you need to unlicense on the machine online

Stats program database. Submitter program database.

Also, when you get set up this time make a Ghost image of your fresh install with applications.

Then just reformat to that each time. My girl taught me that one. She's good for something.

Spicoli · 01-05-2008, 09:59 PM

use either norton ghost, or acronis and make an image of the entire drive onto another drive first, then let 'r fly

Copy your trillian contacts folder and your entire stats remote folder if you use them. Just formatted my machine today because Vista was going crazy on me. Turns out I had a bad stick of ram. I went back to XP.

Spunky · 01-05-2008, 11:22 PM

Get the external drive and place in safe keeping,..

I like to make backup of entire partition, get some tools, and forget all problems, just make regular backups on external drive
