Sandy,

The list of files / components -- what they are and
what they do -- is good reference. I'm still not all
that familiar with this stuff, but I have learned that
a lot of the items most important to you *are*
portable and transferable to other profiles. Some of
it is interlinked in ways you may need to adjust. For
example, I think the Passwords file is the one in the
format

123456.s

and this in turn gets hard-referenced in your
Preferences ("About:Config"), where you'll see this
particular file being pointed to at

signon.SignonFileName

There may be some other things so interlinked. (?)

They caution you about direct editing within
ABOUT:CONFIG, while SM is running. That is, there is
the potential to screw things up in so doing. I don't
recall at the moment, but I think there may be
alternative ways to edit those settings.

In any case, a decent level of backup is fairly
trivial. You can zip up a "snapshot" of key files
(Bookmarks, Passwords, Cookies, Preferences), or even
whole Profiles, and store them elsewhere for
redundancy. Like any snapshot, it is a reflection of
things at the date taken, so you'll have to determine
how often a more up-to-date snap should be made.
