Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy/issues/293

I searched open+closed issues for 'backup' but didn't find any recipe for backing up my Clipy snippets. Anyone know the file containing the snippets? Can the file be backed-up and simply restored in the event of a laptop restore?

From trying to read the source.. I guess.. I have found the folder:

/Users/ < username > / Library/Application Support/Clipy

there is some .data files here... but don't know how they work... but when I open them, they do contain some of my own snippet text :-)

What I did:

Open the Finder
Go to the Menu Bar and open the "Go" menu.
Select "Go to Folder..."
Enter the following path: ~/Library/Application Support
open "Clipy"

Thank you, donnlee! I probably would have noticed that. Sometime in the next millennium.
