I did a search and could not find a method of backing up RapidWeaver 6 data, Plugins and Stacks. Can anybody tell me how to do this without spending $25 on RWBackup. I am sure RWBackup is wonderful but this is only needed about twice per year.

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Backup:

`~/Library/Containers/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver6/Data/Library/Application Support/RapidWeaver/`

Additionally you should backup these two prefs:

`~/Library/Preferences/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver6.plist`

and

`~/Library/Preferences/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaverpro.plist`

Is it the same for RW7?
