Backing-up my boxing universe

papouliot · 12-22-2004, 05:04 PM

I was wondering what I do to back-up my boxing universe? I have a USB portable file holding thingy and want to put the info on it regularly so if my computer has problems I can get it back. How do I back it up? How do I use the back-up in case of a computer problem and I want to restore it? Thanks!

This is pretty low-tech, but I just copy the whole TBCB folder to a CD periodically.

In the game folder there is a directory called data. Inside the data sub-directory there will be a folder with the same name as your universe. If you backup this folder you will be able to restore your database.

You may want to consider backing up the SavedBouts, SavedTournaments et al. directories if you have specific fight cards and bouts saved.

Cheers,
Mark

If you save the data folder will that save your backgrounds too?
