Question about ChronoSync

[ElsieHull]

Hi Peter,

Here is a really dumb question but simple to answer I suspect. 

Can I use chronoSync to temporarily back up my entire harddrive before I upgrade from panther to tiger on my laptop.  If so, do I make a folder on my backup drive and then sync my laptop harddrive to that folder?  Or, do I need a different method or software like carbon copy to do the back up? I know chronosync will copy files and folders but will it copy the operating system?  Sorry for my confusion.  Help always appreciated.

Elsie,
I'd do a full Carbon Copy Clone before upgrading system software (for a .x increase like 10.3 to 10.4, not necessarily for a .x.x  10.4.4 to 10.4.5 increase).
