I will bring this to the front every week so that you guys don't forget to backup your files.

 

I make a separate file system for this on a separate drive letter. So it looks like this:

 

D:\COD4\Backups

 

I then copy these files into that directory, everyweek.

 

MPDATA

config_mp.cfg

config_sp.cfg

 

If you have demos and stuff you want to keep then just copy these subdirectories

 

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\Main\Demos

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\Main\Screenshots

 

to that backup directory.

 

I wrote a small script to do this for me whenever I feel like saving it. Sometimes you just get them evil vibes. So I have a small exe file on my desktop that does this.

Thanks! I just did this myself, If anyone is interested, I posted my simple batch script below which I just threw in Task Scheduler. Just save it using notepad as a .bat. Note that this particular script will popup a command window after the first backup asking it you want to overwrite the existing files (which is how I want it). The Z drive I have is a NAS device I have on my LAN mapped as a network drive.

 

xcopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\dave" "Z:\"

 

 

 

NOTE: If you want it to not prompt you and just go ahead and copy, use xcopy /y ......

I have made use of services like dropbox and google drive to store my backups as well. It is best to have an offsite backup just in case your computer crashes completely.
