What files are critical to restore a league to another PC?

WSR · 01-22-2003, 03:31 PM

I would like to share my career league between my home PC and my work PC, but do not know which files are critical for this to work properly. I tried zipping up the league folder, with all the sub-directories, but the zipped file was approx. 23mb (way too big). Which files are critical for this to work properly? Thanks in advance.

You can dump the Box Scores and Logos easily. That will be a big source for yoru size issues.

Really all you need are the database files, but you won't get get all the player history or news going between the leagues if you don't transfer those files.

If it's 23 MB in zipped size that would indicate player image BMP files. Zipping up the entire league minus any BMP files (logo's and player photos) should get you to about 3 MB in size, then just email that file to yourself at work, then back to yourself at home (assuming you want to sim at work too). Including most of the games text files would be vital if you were to sim or make players changes/moves both at home and at work.
