I use iDisk and if you select it to "Sync" under MobileMe System Preferences it will keep a "local synced copy" which is accessible even when not connected to the Internet.

Where exactly is this "local copy" of my iDisk Files kept?
I would like to make a copy of it for archiving purposes.
I believe that it is probably a "Sparse Bundle Disk Image" but don't quote me on that.


Any help would be appreciated.

Found It

Someone on another forum pointed me to a Apple Discussion that told me where the SparseBundle Disk Image is located:
~/Library/FileSync folder.
See thread at Apple - Support - Discussions - iDisk sync - where are the local files? ...

I have now made a "backup copy" of the SparseBundle Disk Image.

REASON:
I keep two computers "synced" with these iDisk files and have recently experienced a problem where a couple of my files on iDisk were accidentally deleted by one computer. This mistake is immediately copied to the other computer right away if it is connected to the Internet.
I then became aware that I should have a "backup strategy" for these files.
