With system 10.5 a program called Time Machine is included. I've used it for restoring backed up hard drives several times and had great success.

I know that I can use Time machine for the re-install, but what should I use for the copy: Disc Utility? Some other duplicating or cloning program? Thanks for your response. Mike

Upgrade the system first. Hook up your external drive and use Disk Utilities to format it. Ue SuperDuper to clone the drive: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/S...
