MozBackup may have an interest if one wants to keep backups but it should have a doc of what it does really One caution if you do this -- and I do, regularly. If you simply overwrite the Mozilla folder on the target computer, Windows will replace files with the same name (which we want), but retain files that don't exist on the source computer. If your intention is to sync the two, the target computer will have all the files from the source computer, PLUS any files that were on the target computer but not on the source. The right way to do this (with SM closed on both computers, of course) is to begin by renaming the folder on the target computer (I call it Old_Mozilla), and then copying new version of the folder from the source. When you've ascertained that all is well, you can then delete the renamed (older) version. Of course, if all you want to do is transfer the bookmarks file or something like that, copying one file onto the target will replace the corresponding older file on the target. The issue I raise only occurs if you're copying folders onto folders. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
