Exporting your data

[amenofiiv]

Hi everyone!!!
I've a question for all who can answer me :-)
if I decide (or i'm forced) to delete the directory or format the hard drive, how could I save my pilot, my flights, my company so the time that I
re-install FS2004 and FsP I'll be at the same point that I've leaved??
I hope you understand my english!!!
Thanks to all!! :-)

Go to your FSPassenges folder and backup the Database folder.
If you made any modifications to logos, payloads etc. backup their respective folders as well.

Hi nem!
Do you think it will works??
I've tried once to backup just a directory (i don't remember which) and it doesn't work... I would be sure (i'd be very sad if i loose my data...)
However, thanks for the informations, i wait others suggestions (just to be sure sure sure!)

No. I gave you false advice, which is all part of my evil masterplan to destroy your virtual airline.

Just kidding, yes it works. I wouldn't give advice on such a critical subject if I wasn't sure.

database is THE folder to save it contain all your flights data...
You may also save it regulary so you're sure that you don't loose
anything if something odd happen.

if you have thousand custom payload model you can save also "payload_model"
and thousand custom logo you can save the "logo" directory as well...

The only one I do not recomment is the "config" because configuration file may change
(appart custom scenario that you can save) and the "bin" file as restoring this one with
an old version can cause big problem.
