I have been using Entourage for a long time but just switched to the Mail/Address Book/iCal combo. I use ChronoSync to do a small nightly backup which covers my folders such as Documents so that they are backed up every 24 hours. I knew which folders to use for Entourage but my question is:
Which folders does Mail, iCal, and Address Book use so that I can back up these data folders? |

~/Library/Mail
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook ~/Library/Application Support/iCal I know, it's quite obscure...  |

Let's also not forget:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist Generally speaking, a quick Spotlight search on the ~/Library folder will find anything settings-related that you want to keep. Plus, the file hierarchy is named quite logically, making the task even easier. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Huh - so what is ~/Library/Calendars supposed to hold? I actually typed that first, before checking and seeing it was empty...

Well that seems like a bit of a step backwards... :P Ah well.

So are these the files that Backup copied to .Mac for me? As in, I can now create an automated backup of these files and have a steady archive going?
