How do I backup adium's preferences, aliases, logs, and anything else I'm forgetting? I'm planning to do an Erase & Install and I like exactly how my Adium is right now so I want to restore it.
Got a tip for us?

Back up the following locations/items and you should be good to go:
~/Library/Preferences/com.adiumX.adiumX.plist
~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/
Where ~/ is your home directory (for example, /Users/[your user name]).
This will back up the preferences and the instant message logs, plus any dock icons/menu bar icons/sound schemes/contact list styles/message styles/other extras that you've installed for Adium. So you will be back up and running in no time! 🙂

Thank you very much 🙂. Just to clarify - when I'm restoring Adium I first download and install it from the website, and then replace the folders and files you've listed?

Make sure you're in the right application support folder (~ indicates your home folder, so you don't want the one in the main Library folder).
