How do I back up iCal?

How do I back up iCal to enable me to transfer it to another computer with all me schedules/dates etc in tact?

Cheers.

I think ~/Library/Application Support/iCal is where everything's stored. There's also an iCal plist in ~/Library/Preferences.

Got it, thanks.

You seem to be wanting to move all of your stuff to a new computer (you made an older post about "backing up stickies", too). Can't you use the Migration Assistant? Or does it not back those up?

There were only a few things I wanted to move over. Also I am not sure what the migration tool does and don't know if I trust it.

Sorted now anyway.

Cheers.

Did you transfer your keychain of passwords? If so, how? The advice in these forums is to use Migration Assistant, and I share your disinclination to do that.
