<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Daly,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Unfortunately your suggestion also didn't
work. There must be something corrupted in my Bookmarks.plist file.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">... BECAUSE ...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As a last desperate attempt I did a
search on my computer (including my old ~/Library folder) for "Bookmarks.plist"
and a 508K file dated to 8th Feb showed up inside a folder I never knew
existed:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">~/Library/Application Support/SyncService/LastSync
Data/Safari"</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Does anyone know what created this?
Is it a "backup" feature of Safari?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I loaded that into my ~/Library/Safari
folder and when I launched Safari my bookmarks were there!!! I may have
added a few since 8th of Feb but I'm stoked I didn't lose the lot.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The original Bookmarks file that I was
trying (152k) is only a shadow of the size of the working file (508k) so
it looks like the original file is most likely a dud!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Anyway I'm travelling again, woohoo!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My next challenge is to see why Retrospect
is barely backing up my hard drive. When I looked at my backup to retrieve
an older Bookmarks file to my dismay the Users Library folder was almost
completely empty!!!!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks everyone for your suggestions!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Cheers,</font>

I think you should take the new bookmarks.plist out to the Desktop to <br>
back it up, for what it's worth. Then drag in your old bookmarks <br>
plist in its place. But don't do the "replace" thing.<br>
