I would like to use Microsoft Backup Wizard to save my Netscape/Mozilla
email, bookmarks, address book, etc.

Are these files included in the "Files and Settings?/"My Documents..."
selection?  Or does that selection only include the files for Outlook
Express, Internet Explorer Favourites, etc.

Thank you,
Joan

They are in C:\Documents and settings\{your user name}\Application
Data\Mozilla\

Thank you Gordon.  I was aware of that folder but I am still not sure if
the Microsoft Backup Utility program includes it in their automatic
"Files and Settings" selection, or if it has to backed up separately.

By any chance, is there a list somewhere of files included in the Backup
Utility?

The Wizard has an option to choose what you backup.....

Thank you again.  I know about choosing one's own files, but I was
hoping that the Microsoft Files and Settings selection would include the
Mozilla files instead of having to back them up  separately.
Unfortunately it is an either/or situation.. You can select either "My
documents and settings" OR "Let me choose what to backup", where the
latter means EVERY critical file has to be individually identified in
order to ensure a successful restore.

Perhaps the answer is to set up 2 backup jobs - one for the Microsoft
settings and one for the Mozilla folder.  Cumbersome but workable?.

FWIW, this tool does mozilla backups specifically:

Thanks to everyone who helped. I think I have wrestled the problem
to the ground now.
