I know that, but I was saying without CCC in the equasion. I meant more or less just in Adium itself, if I want my events and event actions backed up, where in my finder do I navigate, what file/folders do I need to back up, and later, how would I reimport 'em? Again, I know CCC will back this up, but I[m getting at more specifically with Adium itself, how do I do this? that's why I changed the subject of the post.

Hello,
Generally speaking, CCC will truly make a clone of your drive, so all settings will be preserved. You can then boot from your machines hard drive or the bootable external drive.

I have to redo my mac, which is literally almost never, but still. OK, fine, say down the road I get an IMac, or say a Macbook Pro. I really don't wanna take the hour it took me last time to get things set exactly as I now have 'em. Maybe I'm slow, but I like things to be right the first time. LOL!

Thanks for this. I installed CCC a couple of weeks ago, but haven't actually tried to use it yet. I'm sure I'll be checking it out before Lion happens; am especially hoping that using something like CCC will preserve my app preferences for Adium and things of that nature. I have a little external hard drive that I just got for the mac. I've used it for time machine backups; can I use that same drive with CCCas well? I still don't understand everything about the mac, so will probably still
ask stupid questions from time to time.

Subject: Just my thoughts regarding CCC Carbon Copy Cloner

Hello List,
JUst some thoughts on prepairing for Lion.
I set up CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and I really love it. It's extremely easy to use and it's 100% accessible for VO users.

Not only is it easy to make a complete clone, or a incremental backup, it's also really easy to boot from and use it on the
external drive.
The log details are well written and    easy to understand.
Restoring the original drive is also really easy to do.

CCC is produced on a shareware kind of concept and it uses a donation request field. This is available within CCC as well as
on the site.

So, why am I posting this?
In light of Lion's upcoming launch, I just wanted to really be prepared. No matter what you use as a backup utility, CCC or Super Duper or any other backup package, I strongly suggest that you cover all bases and be completely ready for the new
exciting move to Lion!


Dan
