How to import Hazel rules after reinstalling macOS

Is there an easy way to import Hazel rules after doing a clean reinstall of macOS? Can we, say, just copy over the ~/Library/Application Support/Hazel folder?

I did a backup of my rules at some point, though surely not recently. Also, I thought I made a bootable backup of macOS but it turns out the drive doesn't boot. At least I still have all the data.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Follow this guide to restore from backups: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/restoring ... m-backups/

If you want to do it manually, you will need to re-create the folder list before importing rules back into each folder individually.
