It looks like I'm going to have to mess with my Tasker installation, probably including a full uninstall and reinstall.

How do I do a complete backup of all my Tasker stuff, that is all my projects, profiles, tasks, variables and any other settings, so that I can uninstall Tasker completely, reinstall it, and then restore all my work back to where it was before I uninstalled Tasker?

Using Tasker's overflow dot menu/Data/Backup produces a 63kB xml file, which sure isn't big enough to contain everything I've done in Tasker.

Am I going to have to export everything individually, or just every project individually, or more than that, individually?

Any links to tutorials or references to documentation will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Make sure to enable the Preferences > MISC > Backup User Vars/Prefs option and then do the backup you mentioned and you should be good to go. 63kB does seem a little small though, you're right...
