I do have an "Applications" folder -- in my own session ;-)

So I ensure myself to backup the proper User -- me

And rely on the installation disc(s) to install -- restore the "root"
Applications one level "below" the User(s)

In the eventuality of a problem, it seems to me fundamental to separate
the "System" (as furnished by Apple), and whatever the User(s) has
(have) installed ;-)
