How to Back Up an Adium Chat Log

Adium is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) application for Mac OS X. Not only can you simultaneously connect to multiple IM networks, you can customize the look and feel of Adium -- something you can't do in Apple's iChat. Adium can also keep a record of all your chats. Backing up your chat logs is just a matter of copying the folder containing the conversations.
