    Hey all,

    In preparation for a clean install of Mac OS.. I need to back up some important files on the drive.

    Time Machine is not an option for me.

    I have photos from iPhoto and music from iTunes that I want to back up.

    I just want to make sure I'm looking at the right place for the files...

    For iTunes, I should go my home folder and then .."Music"

    For iPhoto, I should go to my home folder and then.. "Pictures"..."iPhoto Library."

    Are there any additional folders that I need to preserve in order to have those backup files work after restoring them?

    Thanks!
