Transfer .Mac backup plans to new computer?
How do you transfer all of your backup plans to a new computer without using migration assistant? Where are they stored? I'd prefer not to delete all of my backups and start again.

Thanks.

pgseye,
Where does your back up 'back up' too?

Just move the back ups across to your new system. If they are being backed up to your idisk, then you don't need to do anything

Should have said - backups to my idisk.

So, If I open backup on my new comp (when I get it), it'll automatically recognise the existing plans without me needing to add them again?

Thanks

If you migrate your user folder, then all your backup plans will be copied across.

Where in the home folder are they stored, do you know? I can't seem to find them.

Thanks.
