I thought I would try putting my laptop SM files on a flash drive,
since my external back up drive that I use for my desktop is on
another floor, and they are the only files I care about on this
laptop. However, I can't find my current mail/news files now.
I've found the SeaMonkey2 folder under Program Manager, but I can't
find the "current" files for the profile/mail/news, etc.. Under
Documents & Settings, I have files that are dated 2009. That can't be
my current data, can it?
On my XP machine (IIRC, things are somewhat different on Windows 7, if
you're even using Windows...), the profile is at C:\Documents and
Settings\My Windows Name\Application
Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\..., where "My Windows Name" is my user
name as far as Windows is concerned.
Also I haven't used flash drives before, so is it harder than I might
be thinking, to use them for backup. Do I need special software, or
can I just copy the files on there and copy them off, when/if needed?
Also can you just re-write over them, or should they be erased before
updating? LOL... or does it depend on the drive? TIA... for any
responses.
Can't answer this in any detail, but if your flash drive is formatted
for FAT32, it will have a 4 GB file size limit, in case any of your SM
files are that "fat." ;-)
There may be other considerations, keep reading for other responses.
