:-) mmm What Tee said....
I've actually never bothered. I used to keep a copy of the last
functioning OS9 install on a CD and dragged back whatever I thought
was causing the problems.
I have been thinking of doing an OS backup to the iPod. Haven't
gotten around to it. Never been able to balance between the paranoia
that the thing will crash ( I can just restore from CD's , Disk
Warrior, and web ) and going merrily along doing periodic maintenance.
I suppose you should in the future, should you be more paranoid, just
add the System Folder to your backup routine. As to restoring, well,
never having done a backup, and never having needed to restore from a
backup, I would suspect that it would just require copying over the
suspect good bits to replace the suspect bad bits.
There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.
