How to back up computer from OS X Recovery
The computer i'm using is refusing to start up, so I turned it off and booted it into OS X Recovery (Hold Command+R on boot). I went to disk utilitiy and I verified Macintosh HD and after I get a incorrect amount of leafs which i'm not sure what it means but I believe is highly irelevant. It says it needs to be repaired. I try to repair it says it cannot be repaired and it tells me to backup as much files as possible. I not sure how to backup my files from OS X Recovery. Please tell me how to do this.
-- Note: I havent tried safe mode --
MacBook, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)
