I don't want to lose my contact list aliases/organization. Do I just need to backup the Adium prefs? Or are they stored under something else?

Theorically, you don't need to erase everything...

Just backup your whole ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0 folder and you should be good. That's where Adium stores pretty much everything.

edit: I'm not sure about ~/.gaim ...anyone know if there's anything valuable in there?
