Backing up you Extensions Folder
1. Give yourself root privileges so that you can modify files.
Code:
sudo -s
2. Make a backup copy of your kexts. First we will make a directory called "backup" in our root directory to store them. Open Terminal and type:
Code:
mkdir /backup
3. Change directories to /System/Library This will shorten some of the commands we have to type in.
Code:
cd /System/Library
4. Copy your kexts to the new "backup" folder.
Code:
cp -r Extensions/ /backup


Backing up your kernel

1. Make a backup copy of your existing kernel and name it mach_kernel.backup
Code:
cp -r /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.backup
