Dont really think I'm benefiting from the new OS, although my machine isn't struggling I feel it would be happier running snow leopard again. I have time machine back ups (though I cant remember exactly when i upgraded) and a 10.6 install disc.
Thanks in advance for your time

Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.
on the second link; 'If you have a 10.6 TimeMachine drive (that was never connected to a 10.7/10.8 machine), then install 10.6 with the boot 10.6 disk and upon reboot connect the 10.6 TM drive, use Setup Assistant to restore from TM, then return recent files from the storage drive. Your done, see you later.'
does this one apply to me? my machine came with 10.5 i think, then installed 10.6 using a disc then upgraded to 10.10 through app store I have backed up using time machine whilst on Yosemite
If your backups go all the way back to when you had Snow Leopard installed, you should be able to restore from that backup, which will be before Time Machine was changed.
Is there a guide to using time machine to revert back to snow leopard from yosemite?
