Here's how to automatically or manually back up your data, and then restore it on your Mac using Apple's Time Machine feature ...

Time Machine is a free and native built-in backup feature available on all Mac models that allows you to create incremental backups, restore your Mac, and browse files.

You know you need to back up your Mac. Time Machine is an easy way to do so, but does it do enough?

So what I'd like to do is take the backup and restore it to a separate account on my wife's MacBook, which has much more free space, runs 10.6, etc. What's the best/easiest way to do this?
