Shrug... I guess that's as good as reason as any. For me it's just as easy to copy & paste the entire profile over to a backup partition/drive/device as it is to run MozBackup. Or just set up to use rsync or grsync as a scheduled service.

No operator intervention involved either using rsync once set up as a scheduled service/task. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
