Making Backups: Macs

My last post talked about how Kerika uses two sets of directories: one for the software and one for the data.

The Mac situation is similar, but the details are a little different and reflect Mac conventions of how software is managed. When you download Kerika for the Mac, you get a ".dmg" file which lands on your desktop and is then unpacked to create the Kerika "application packge". This package sits in your Applications folder; you can find it using the Mac Finder.

The data directory is called "Kerika" and is located in your "root folder." (I am not going to explain what the root folder is; I will assume that Mac folks know what I am talking about.)

So, if you want to back up your Kerika data, and you really should, just make sure the Kerika data directory is among the files that you backup.
