Re-Install preperation.

[SPeedY_B]

Ok, so I'm likely to wipe and re-install OS X soon, I know that re-installs aren't needed, but I've quite a few (self caused) problems with this install, and I'd like a nice clean install as I'll be doing this with Tiger when that is released soon anyway (Not a fan of upgrades, clean installs all the way!) so I was wondering what most of you back-up before wiping a computer, as there's always something that I forget.

My current list stands at:

• Safari Bookmarks
• List of Installed Apps
• Conf Files (HTTPd, FTPd, IRC, etc)
• Docs/Movies/Pics (Home dir basically)
• Address Book

All my downloads (Including the OS X updaters, for convenience), music, movies, etc are stored on a separate RAID disk from the main o/s drive, so they're all safe, I just know if I go ahead and wipe the main drive, I'll still forget something so, any suggestions for things I may of missed?

If you play games, and they arent already on your raid... the saved games or saved screenshots of the game...

I forogot those last time I reloaded

I do, but not enough to warrant backing up anything gaming related. Good suggestion though

I save almost nothing. Bookmarks mabey. Mail.app is all imap anyways so it is just connecting it.

Since most of my stuff is saved in my Home Dir' I just back up all of that (minus the "Library" folder)

Also, and apps in your Applications folder that you downloaded and might not be able to again ( for eg. I back up my FTP app since it was a drag n drop app - if you get what i mean)

Thats about it for me
