My Mac Pro self destructed during the process of updating a security patch , graphics card was wrecked. now I have it back ( sans the $400 card , I'll just ordered another 8gb nitro:'( although it at least is now about $100 cheaper ) , it appears that the old high sierra system was deleted and its now on Sierra . TANE which was SP3 is now SP2 and more significantly , all my recent versions of my routes are no longer appearing in the route menu and are not part of the content of this build. my content install I was using is different to the one shown in sp2, which is ipsab5rt1 the one I need is ughifl321, which definitely has the latest stuff ive been working on. I'm in the process of backing up this folder . all 232 gb of it so if the install goes wrong its still all there
My question is, how to proceed ? the backups of all the recent assets and routes are still on the computer up to 3rd jan 2020 when the update plunged me into chaos, , but I'm fearing updating to sp3 and losing them. I have cdps of all the route versions and many of my modified assets, but I don't want to lose any asset reskins by accident as it could take weeks to restore my two routes , any advice on how too proceed from here ? when I update to sp3 is it likely the new assets will be visible as they are in the content folder. i imagine that if i chose the content path to this folder it will allow me to see them all.
, I think I have to upgrade to SP3 as the routes can't be worked on in SP2.is there any way of making the assets into cdps from the backup files ? I think I could install sp3 on another separate drive and then drag and drop content into there ,would that work ?
