When backing up EQ2, what files should I save?

Post by Kasumi! » Sat Sep 27, 2008 10:58 am

Hi guys! Keep up the great work! awesome project! Cant wait to help out with some data packets once i get this all setup
Okay, quick question!
When I save a copy of EQ2 (ie. backup my EQ2 folder, label it by Build, then store it...)
What files should I concentrate on saving?
I usually just copy the entire Sony folder including launchpad and EQ2 folders.
Even after zipping these files tend to be huge 6-8 GB.. is there anything I DONT need to save?
I'm guessing MUSIC and SCREENSHOTS folders dont need to be saved... I usually delete the screenshots folder when archiving anyways..
Ok thanks for the help in advance!

Your best bet is to review previous patch logs and assertain that yourself. It's probably not in the scope of this project to discuss such things, as it may be incorrectly translated =)
I use a tool called SynchronizeIT! to compare live to backup, which usually tells me clearly what files to archive before trying a new version.
Hope this helps.
