Creating back-up

February 5, 2008 3:27:32 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
So I broke down, couldn't wait any longer for retail release and bought the digital download. I noticed you even suggest in the download that we backup the files....how?

I assume the install files are what we want, not the installed game......where do I find this? Is there an image available?

I'm confused

I meant in the purchase e-mail.....regardless, to make it easier on your support staff in the long run (and safer for us), could you supply more info?

You can right click Sins in SDC and select archive, then archive the SDC application (you'll need it to extract the backup). You can then burn both the game archive and the sdc app on a dvd and voila

I'm not sure, it's probably in the options somewhere!

The default location for archives is Program Files\Stardock\Stardock Central\BACKUP.

Ah thanks, figured it out.

Now one problem left to fix, which I already emailed stardock about.
