Bootable backup is too large to restore?

Hello Dave,

I am in the process of upgrading from Tiger to Leopard. I have a fully bootable backup (tested).

I am not sure which upgrade version to take. Is what you describe above your recommendation. Would this transer all the data/settings/applications and user preferences from the different accounts?

Thanks
