Backups - New Build - If and When

Question
-
I currently am running Vail 100% and am wondering if/when a new build comes will I be able to use my external server backup? This has all the current computers and shared folders backed up so if this is in place when I have to do a clean install will it be useable?I am wondering because of the facts of known bugs that are posted, would it bring back "information" that could cause errors in the if/when newer build.This was just a thought, will be changing/upgrading HD's soon, internally, for the next milestone, if/when it comes. My external setup will work for the next steps.

Rumours (which are likely just that) say VERY soon!

I noticed on Connect someone posting bugs on a NEW BUILD.
Hopefully we'll see one soon too.
Everyone here has Connect access, right?

I don't think it is a matter of access to Connect, it is probably released to "select" groups such as MVP's and the select few.Saturday, July 31, 2010 1:48 PM
