Type -adopath- on the command line to see all the needed directories.
Just to be clear, you probably don't need to back up every directory
that has ado files. Most users will just want to back up the ado
files they have downloaded from SSC and other sites, as well as any
ado files they have written themselves. At least on my machine, if
you run -adopath- you'll find the stuff you want in the paths labeled
PERSONAL and PLUS. I would be leery about backing up and restoring
Stata's own official files; I'd be more likely to reinstall Stata if
my current copy of those files somehow got corrupted.
You could, of course, be putting user-written ado files anywhere
along the ado path, but I suspect anybody who is doing that is either
(a) being sloppy or (b) being smart and knows that they have to have
those files backed up separately.
