Those files are in the following folder:

\World of Warcraft\WTF\ACCOUNT\<accountname>\SavedVariables\

From that folder, copy the .lua and the .bak files from the addons you want, and there you have it :]

ok i see the files will the merge together or overwrite each other is my last question and ty for answer back

[Psoewish]

When you copy them somewhere else that already has the files, they will overwrite them.

Well rather, it will ask you if you want to overwrite them.

If you have more than one toon, you can simply just copy the entire WTF folder as that will also copy your macros, chat settings and other Blizzard settings. This will also get your per character settings that are saved in World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YOUR ACCOUNT\Your Server\Your Character (replacing the Your % with the appropriate info).

Actually most Blizz settings are now stored on the server rather than locally.
Only the addon settings are stored locally. Any MAYBE the chat settings as well, not sure about that.

There are still plenty of Blizzard settings stored on your computer. Screen resolution, video settings, saved account name for login (something you *always* want to uncheck when uploading your UI for download), anything in Interface Options, etc.

Yeah but those are probably not really relevant in this case, as the OP wants to back up the settings for use on different systems, so those settings will very likely be different then as well.

Possibly. But also the "anything in Interface Options, etc." bits he might want to keep.
