Hi All,
I'm setting up a slave computer. My current MacPro will become the slave and my new MacPro will be the master. I have a current SuperDuper bootable backup of my current system drive.
A Mac A/V tech fella told me that he regularly uses SuperDuper backups to get new A/V machines going. I'd have to reauthorize some things that are tied to the machine I.D. but he says that everything else will be fine. Since I won't be using Snow Leopard that comes with the MacPro, going back to 10.5.8 from the SuperDuper should be fine.
Has anyone done this with a new machine? I've always installed everything from scratch but I have 3 new machines for 2 new work stations and am hoping that I could do it the SuperDuper way. I know it's not the best thing to do but perhaps there are some of you who have done this successfully?
just wondering,
