   Okay, this is a Netscape group isn't it. ;)   
      
   SeaMonkey now stores its cache data separately from the profile, due to   
   roaming profiles. However, you are correct, Netscape 7.2 does store its   
   cache data in the profile folder.   
      
   Clearing the cache periodically is a good idea. Compacting the mail   
   folders also saves space.   
      
   Although, with the size of modern backup devices, its a pretty minor   
   point.  I do a full system backup every night.  Do I need to?  Not   
   really, but its easy to do, fast, and the usb drive has far more then   
   enough space to hold it all. I then know that, no matter what may be   
   lost, it can be recovered.   
      
   I've had remarkably little trouble with profile data. I've never lost   
   bookmarks, lost mail data once through pilot error.  The only times I've   
   ever had to restore prefs.js was when I was messing around with editing it.   
      
   I have been doing support for Mozilla products for about 3 years now.   
   In that time, I've helped people who have lost bookmarks, cookies,   
   passwords, mail, extensions, and other settings.  All of it could be   
   restored if the profile was backed up.
