Mac Stickies backup FAQ: I want to make sure my Mac Stickies are backed up; where are the Mac Stickies files (or database) located?
As I wrote about in an earlier article on How to save Mac Stickies, Mac Stickies (sticky notes) are saved in one database file. This file is named StickiesDatabase, and it's located in the Library folder of your home directory.
As an example, my home directory is named /Users/Al, and my Mac Stickies database file is located in this directory:
/Users/Al/Library/StickiesDatabase
So, if you want to backup your Mac Stickies, all you have to do is make sure you backup that one Mac Stickies database file.
