In case of reboot, are log files easily transferrable?

So I've ordered a bigger hd for my laptop, and it's coming in a week or so. Thing is, I've had my chats saved with the convos I've had, and I'd like to keep them.

If I backup these files, and install Adium on my new hd, is it as easy as dragging and dropping into the new folder and continuing as normal? I don't want duplicates of my log files or anything of the like as a result of this.

also the logs are just html files that you can save.

Thanks for the reply.

Should the copying over be done before setting up the accounts and stuff? Or after? Cause like I said I don't want duplicate files.

Copying over that folder (~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0) should be done before opening Adium; that way, on first launch you have all your stuff.
