Preparing for an update, if I backup the "Seamonkey2" folder I created
for my last install, does it include *everything* I need, should I have

system, which gave me pause.
Also, can I update from SM 2.0.10 directly? TIA....

Before I would back up to SeaMonkey 2.4 I would make sure I had a backed
up copy of SeaMonkey 2.3 (or the most recent version of SeaMonkey you
have) as well as your SeaMonkey profile (include the profiles of all
users on your computer).
That's what I intend to do, but didn't know, because of the way WinXP
spreads files to a Document folder, etc., if the the Seamonkey 2.o
folder I have in the Programs folder is all I need to backup. I have
other Mozilla folders on my pc too.
You should be reminded that you can use your existing SeaMonkey profile
with a new version of SeaMonkey, but it is not recommended to revert to
an older version. So if something does not work for you with the update
to 2.4 you can revert to v2.3 and your profile will still function.
Also you will want a recent backup of the SeaMonkey profile for those
"just in case" situations. These are the cases were something goes wrong
with the update and you are left saying, "What do I do now? I should
have backed up my profile." Also there are some posts in this newsgroup
from users who have lost all their bookmarks or emails and did not have
a recent backup.
All of those posts are what have me concerned, especially since many of
them were people using more recent versions than mine is. That's why I
wasn't sure I could skip the 2.3 version, and go from 2.0 to 2.4.
Thanks for your response.
