[MacTUG] manually moving ARD data

[Rob Roy]

Hi Don,
I think you'll find what you are looking for in /Users/<youruser>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist. In this xml file, you'll find an area call SavedTasks that lists all the tasks that you have created in ARD. I hope this helps.
thanks,
Rob

It looks like this may have caused some incomplete backing up of my Library. Hence I cannot fully restore my account from Time Machine. I can get my docs and stuff. What I cannot get restored correctly is my ARD.

I do have a copy of the ARD files in Application support, and I do have copies of a few ard plist files but it does not seem to be enough to get it rolling. Any suggestions (other than in the future that I 'waste' 20 gigs of space and do complete backups, haha)
