Do i need to backup my information before installation of Mac os x lion? I know I should always back up, but what i'm asking is will my information be there, or is it a totally clean install? Will my information have to be transfered?

Your information will be preserved unless something goes wrong. That's why it's highly recommended to have a backup, and preferably a clone of the entire drive, to fall back on if something does go amiss, as can happen.


Regards.
