Hi. I am using Time Machine to back up my IMac. However, I just bought
a 2 Gig USB drive and I want to save some pertinent files on there too
just in case. However, I am unsure where my Address Book data and ICall
date is stored. Can someone please tell me where it is?

Thanks,

Mirsky

Don't mean to be too picky, but if 10.5 is the same as 10.4, the above
paths should be prefaced with '<your home directory>->'. They're not in
the main Library on 10.4.11.

Be picky all you want, but it never occurred to me that someone would
think that user private data would be stored on the system-wide library.

Personally, I like to avoid any confusion by giving the full POSIX path:

~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook

....and I may even go so far as to spell out the ~ portion with:

(~ means /Users/you)
