back-up or copy profile data #18

Is there someway to transfer the profiles from one harddrive to another? 
I have a dead/dying but readable hardrive that I have replaced. I would really 
like to copy all the profiles/cookies onto my new drive/installation.

I had hoped chrome would sync them for me, while the extension transferred, I 
ended up with an empty/default Swap My Cookies set-up.

I have figured this out. Anyone else that needs a backup:
In my Chrome config folder (varies by OS flavor) in Default->Local Storage 
there is a sqlite file named chrome-extension_<string that coresponds to SMC 
extention>_0.localstorage I coped this to the new hard drive, restarted chrome: 
BahBoom! Profile restored!
