ICal Help - COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL

Question

I wanted to learn about backing up iCal 2.02 in Tiger. I opened iCal Help and navigated to "How to Backup iCal Calendars." This is what it said:
How to back up iCal calendars
Learn how to back up your iCal calendars.
iCal saves your calendars as .ics files in the Calendars folder (~/Library/Calendars). You can back up your calendars by copying this folder to your backup location (file server, external hard drive, CD-ROM, and so forth).
Fine. Two problems: THERE IS NO CALENDAR FOLDER in my ~/Library folder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and there is only ONE .ics file on my whole hard drive and it's the "corestorage.ics" file in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/39322D58-E784-4BD5-8F84-91E5F13E6714.calendar/
What the &^$&%) is up with this?

Answer 1

bookman,
It looks like iCal is loading the help file from iCal 1.5. This happens sometimes and if anyone knows how to fix it, please speak up.
To backup iCal 2, just choose "Back up Database" from the file menu.
iCal 1 stored the files in ~/Library/Calendars
iCal 2 stores them in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal and as you can see, they are a bit cryptic.
Exporting and importing isn't simple, as you can end up with duplicates (as is so often mentioned here).
