There is, and it's up in the Tech section. I'll see if I can find it.
Your toons aren't stored on your computer, they're stored on the server. That's why you can access them when you log in on your account using someone else's computer. The only things you would lose access to are your saved costumes and any saved MArcs you might have created; you can keep these by copying over the folders they're saved in (use a thumb drive). On the new computer, download/install the game, then take the folders you copied out of your program files and use them to replace the folders of the same name on the clean install.
Someone else can probably word that better than me.
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

Almost everything is stored server side, only things I can think of off of the top of my head that you might want to back up are key-bind files and your options preferences if you have those saved to load again quickly.
Oh, and if you use Mids' you'll probably want to grab a copy of those saved builds.
But you'll still have access to all your toons, and they'll be as they are now.
Don't forget chat logs, too (if any) and of course screenshots.

I think player notes are also stored on the user machine. Also MA arcs (oops, those were already mentioned by DJKyo)

So I need to take my computer in for repair...rent to own..so they would give me another to use while the other is being fixed...my question...is there a way to switch computers and get all your game information, saves and such to a different computer or am I SOL. I'd hate to think I will lose all my toons and lvling and work and such.
