dizietemblesssma Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I don't see the need to backup both my staging and downloads directories, but if I just keep the downloads and the database will this be enough to reinstall from the downloads with the same FOMOD settings? Would it be necessary to backup the database and staging folder instead? diziet1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Pickysaurus Posted April 18 Solution Share Posted April 18 You want all 3 folders for a full backup. If you have to axe one, it'd be the downloads folder. Most mods can be reacquired from the site, but your changes in the staging folder can't be reapplied as easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizietemblesssma Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 So if I only backup archives that aren't on nexus then the combo of staging folder and the database will allow me to re download the nexus provided files if i wanted to re-install? The database will still have the nexus mod page details? diziet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 It should still have the relevant IDs for you to know exactly which mod and file it is on Nexus Mods, yeah. Depending on how invested you are in this you could also make an extension for Vortex that takes the Mod/File IDs from each mod and redownloads the file (if available) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
