Hi,

I need to rollback my macbook air to the state as if it was just bought. I am doing backup to external hard drive using Time machine now,

How will I know when it is complete?
What should I do next? how to delete all stuff from mac?
In a while, I will need to restore it back from the external drive. How do I it?

Thank you very much in advance. I'd really appreciate your fast reply.
