Database backup TS2009?

[UP6936]

I want to make an external backup of my TS2009 CM content data base. What files do I backup - filename(s) and location?

 

[Euphod]

C:\Program Files\Auran\TS2009\UserData\local

Thanks for a quick respons!! Happy Easter!

You're welcome, and Happy Easter to you as well.
You may want to back up other folders and files as well, in case of trouble, specifically: the trainz options file and the settings folder in the User Data folder. That way you have your saved consists and other information.

Ehhh... It seems that the correct location is C:/Program/Auran/TS2009/local/ Right? There is no Program Files/TS2009/UserData folder on my system. To be sure, I changed the Windows settings to show hidden files.

 

[Euphod]

Well, that's odd. I definitely have the Userdata folder in C:\Program Files\Auran\TS2009. Are you patched up to SP4? What OS are you using? I am on XP SP3.

 

[UP6936]

No, I am on SP3 - build 41844. OS is Win XP SP3 Proffessional.

Perhaps that's the difference in the file structure then. Regardless; the local folder is the one that contains your content. The other folders I mentioned may be in the root folder then, look for settings I suppose.

Could be that that's the difference.
