This is a separate task from backing up WoW as a whole - that's not what I am asking about. Sometimes one has to perform a clean reinstall and I would like to be able to reinstall Carbonite - and my saved notes - over the fresh install.

Thanks in advance and congratulations on a wonderful WoW add-on.
The notes for your Carbonite maps are kept in "Path to your WoW folder\WTF\Account\ACCOUNT NAME\SavedVariables\Carbonite.lua". There are also "Carbonite.lua" and "Carbonite.lua.bak" files kept in each characters' folders own "SavedVariables" folder, but I have only ever found "taxi" information there so I suppose you could save them if you wish. I really think this (taxi) information is also kept server-side, though.

Hope this helps you.
