Re: Getting ready for Snow Leopard
Mike, your not going to be able to back things up that way on a DVD using Time Machine. YOu'd be better off backing up the data you absolutely can't live without to DVD or getting an external drive, backing up your entire drive, and migrate your data back over.

Re: Getting ready for Snow Leopard
Could you just exclude your applications folder from the Time Machine backup? System Preferences -> Time Machine -> Options then navigate to the Add item to "Do not backup" list button which will pop a file picker to add folders you don't want backed up.
