### Backing Up

All of the Mental Case data for one user is stored in a database hidden in the Library folder. To view the data, go to Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder, and enter ~/Library/Application Support/Mental Case. The database is the folder called Library.mentalcase2lib.

If you have a Time Machine backup of your hard disk — and why wouldn’t you — you should make sure this folder is included in the backup. By default it will be included, but you should make sure you don’t accidentally exclude the folder in your Time Machine settings.

If you want to make occasional backups manually, you can simply copy the Library.mentalcase2lib folder somewhere safe. Another option is to select all of your stacks and cases, export them in Mental Case 2 Archive format, and store the exported file somewhere safe in case you need to import it again in future. Note that this approach will backup your data, but not your learning progress. If you want to backup your learning progress as well, make sure you make a copy of the Library.mentalcase2lib folder.
