“OS X Conference: Pixar talks OS X migration”

you’ll discover that

“Rollout – A python script that will scour an OS 9
drive for user data and copy it onto a FireWire drive in an OS X
like home directory. It will also copy the data back from the
FireWire drive onto an actual user’s home directory!”
