A poster on macOSXHints provides an applescipt which will backup the data files from iCal, Address Book and Delicious Library as well as bookmarks from Camino and del.icio.us.

It’s useful as it is, especially if you use those apps, but the poster also hopes that readers will “glean parts that are relevant to your system/apps or adapt the whole thing or even add to it”.

If you are a beginner at AppleScript (like me) you will be interested to see the section for the del.icio.us bookmarks, which shows how AppleScript can tab through the fields of a web page.

The poster wrote this script after “a few frustrating losses of data”. A warning to us all.ical, address book, camino, applescript, backup, de.lico.us, bookmarks
