Hmmmmm… save a copy of ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Users/ ?

Are you sure it works....? I've had done that in the past without no luck.

I think they are stored there… devs?

Aliases and notes are indeed stored there, specifically in the Default/ByObject directory. However, note that some aliases (AIM mainly) are also stored on the server. However, if you move those folders into a new Adium installation, or clear out everything else and add those folders back in, they will probably NOT work. Everything is linked to an account by a unique ID number, and if you create new accounts, they will probably have different ID numbers. Thus, you lose your info. Moral is... save your Accounts as well (Default/Accounts.plist, Default/Accounts subfolder)
