    I hope these go well. Make sure you backup first!

    I have never done that with an EFI update. How should I backup?

    Time Machine like Jacob said or any other means such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SUperDUper. These usually always go well but on occasion they have cuase people to have to restore.

    No. You just plug a drive in and say use with TM

    Then I don't think you can use TM.

    Updating now...
