I have used the TB backup utility to transfer TB from one computer to
another. Unfortunately, I find that there are problems in both the
backup process and the restore process.

The backup process appears to work fine if I don't backup any IMAP
accounts. But at least one IMAP account seems to have a problem with
the Inbox. So, okay, I just skipped the backup of the IMAP accounts
(just test accounts anyway).

When I do the restore process, however, I discover new problems.
Everything is fine except the attachments. When I try to restore the
attachments, the restore utility fails each time. Everything goes well
if I restore without the attachments.

So my question is: Can I just copy my entire directory structure over
the installation as a primitive sort of backup. In other words, just
zip up my TB directory along with all of its subdirectories (including
the attachments) and then just unzip those directories on the new
computer? That seems to be the only way I can get all of my settings
and files using the built-in TB backup-restore process.
