I have this same question, too. Funny story, I was clicking on an alias to a network location, when I sneezed, and instead of clicking on it, pulled it off the dock. Now I don’t remember how to get back to that network location. I have Time Machine backups, so let’s see if I can fix this via Time Machine.

It worked. I had to log out and log back in before I saw the change, but there is my link to my network drive back again! :-)

That is if you happen to have a Time Machine backup.

couldn’t you just restore the plist from Time Machine?

I totally clicked through to see if there was a screenshot… :-)

Actually, though, backing up the dock config is a great idea. It actually seems like it could be a cool way to maintain several different dock configs.
