Were are data files located on my MacBook?

I have two Macs with a registered copy of Mac Dive on each. I have copied current (latest) data files from one and put on the other mac before so both copies were synced. I can't remember how to navigate to the data files now.
Can someone point me into the right direction?

This is covered in the FAQ, but the simple way is preferences -> general and click the "open data directory" button to open a Finder window there.

Seemed to only one file that changes....
MacDive.sqlite
I copied this file only from that directory in that same directory on second mac and new dives were there.
Thanks,
Jeff

Yep, that is your primary data file. You may also want to copy your images (Gear, Certs, Photos etc).
The other ones with big long file names are periodic backups made during certain updates, you don't need to copy them to another computer (they're good to keep as a backup, however).
Currently working on cloud sync, it's coming along nicely, and should save you having to do this manually!
