If, like me, you connect to many different networks (I'm a network consultant), then you probably find OS X's ability to create different locations a most useful tool. But how to back them up to reinstall or tranfer to a new machine? After a long search, eureka! They're all in one single file:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

All you need to do is copy that file and restore it on the new machine.
