Sigurð Stormhand Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Yes' date=' a modded game install for Oblivion can take eons if the entire Data folder isn't simply backed up enmasse like I do. Large external HD ftw.[/quote']That method of backup has caused my problem, restoring said backup would leave me with the same messy data folder as before, where I litterally have no idea where to start looking for problems. This way at least once I get this working I will know it is complete and perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I see. Yes, that's one drawback. If something goes terribly wrong and your backup is too old to be of value. Damn you, now I'm going to spend the next hour or two making a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Well, yes, if you're going to do regular backups, they need to be very regular to be of value, and there's probably not really a lot of point to keeping the older backups once you've made a fresh one.
