I would like to set up CCC to do backups of iCal, Address book and
Safari bookmarks ( and no, I don't want to clone the whole user)
Question is, where are the files that are associated with these
apps? I know where Address book is, but the other two? Is this even
possible?
You're talking about picking things out of ~/Library/Application
Support/, ~/Library/Preferences, ~/Library/<appname>, and perhaps
other places ... And worse, this issue would have to be revisited
*every time* those apps were updated.
I guess you could just grab all of ~/Library. But that won't follow
aliases etc.
IMO, you'd be much better off making a CCC of /Users, then creating
a job to update it incrementally. Mine runs every day at 5:02.
Takes between 10 and 30 mins (depends on how active I've been that
day).
Oh, tell CCC to ignore "Library/Caches" There's nothing there you
ever need or want.
If space on the backup device is an issue... You could tell it to
ignore your music and movies too...

How do I tell CCC to ignore "library caches"?? looking for that box
to uncheck? can't find it. Jeff
