Thanks for your prompt reply. That settles the question of whether to backup the Sandbox.

Then that just leaves the question of how to handle the "matching" of the Sandbox and the main drive.

I'm hesitant to clone back the Sandbox to the main drive without backing up the main drive first (better safe than sorry...I once hosed the main drive when cloning back by doing the cloning back wrong!). If I do that, the main drive backup will always be between 1-2 weeks old (unless I back up the main drive again AFTER cloning back the Sandbox).I could just manually install everything on the main drive that was installed in the previous week on the Sandbox, but since so many programs now update themselves (or at least prompt for updating), I'm concerned that preferences, the Application Support folders, etc. may be out of date and installing whatever I manually installed won't bring them up to date.
