[MacTUG] manually moving ARD data

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

Thanks Rob!

That looks like where it is, but even better, I redid my rebuilding of my computer and time machine got ARD up and running with all my scripts. (BTW, the first thing I did was paste those scripts into text files and save them in a couple of places, haha).

So everything worked out well. I think I even have justified to myself getting a new mac ;-) Before that sounds like me looking for excuses, according to http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html my mac was made in 2007, so it is about 4 and a half. It also will not be surplus, we will get another few years out of it in our low end general use lab.

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

Hi Gang
My iMac had a drive failure yesterday -- i love when stuff like that happens when you are rebuilding labs and stuff, haha.

There is good news: I had the prep work for the labs basically done, and I was using time machine.

The bad news that I need help with. I was letting my 'frugal scottish genes' get the better of me and I told time machine not to back up System Files. 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.

This is a big deal for me as I had written some nice scripts in ARD for doing things like determining who the most recent users were for each computer, how many times the logged on, etc. I would rather not recreate them.

So I want to know where that stuff is stored. Does anyone have an idea? 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)
