If you need to use two or more independent and separate Bento™ collections of Libraries, create another user
account on your Mac. Each new account has its own Bento data file stored in the Application Support folder in the user’s Library folder.

This tip was submitted by Jon Longworth (aka Jade in the Bento™ forums).

You can also simply copy or rename the bento.bentodb file in your user’s Library/Application Support/Bento folder and when you next start Bento it will create a new one. However, please ensure that Bento is not running when you attempt this.

In the screen-shot below you can see that I have three Bento files, each containing their own collection of Libraries: my personal Libraries, Libraries to do with work and Libraries used for examples for this site.
