Using content manager right mouse click on the route. From the drop down menu select "save to CDP...". Navigate to desired folder and enter a filename.

If you have downloaded content I would suggest saving the local folder. This contains your route aswell.

In addition to that, as it's TS2010, you also need the Original folder (which can be found in UserData alongside the Local folder)

I just copied the Auran folder to the USB drive. It takes awhile but your sure to have it all. Not only that put you can take your USB drive and plug it in anywhere and play.

Hi Shane,

Until recently most people recommended backing up the Local folder only in TS2010. I see you are now mentioning that the Original folder should also be backed up. Could you please advise me why the Original folder is needed. Presumably if re-installing content using CM3, the Original folder would be installed first then the Local folder?

Certainly.

The reason the Original folder requires backing up is that this folder holds unmodified content, be this built-in content that has been reverted, or Download Station content that has simply been installed using the Download Helper, which installs it into the Original folder.

You are correct in saying that the Original folder should be installed before the Local folder.
