10.5: Use Time Machine to create a bootable backup
Authored by: MrLucky on Fri, Jun 20 2008 at 11:20AM PDT

In my case, it was time to buy a new MacBook (I bought the old one when it was Core (not 2) Duo, with 512Mb memory and 80Gb HD).

The backup volume I made with Time Machine worked fine and I used it without incident until my new MacBook arrived a week later.

I then installed my system onto the new MacBook using the latest Time Machine backup, and everything was hunky-dory.
