A_Snake Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I was just reading the post where someone lost their trial admin rights due to a PC change. This reminded me of what Smoke said a long time ago about regularly backing up your profiles. Personally I use a thumb drive and just back up or copy the "Players" folder on to it. Because I got lax in doing it, it had been 8 months since my last back up. Talk about playing with fire. Anyway, don't forget to back up your profiles or other important files in case you have a crash or a change where you might need this information. 4 Quote
Spanky Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Good idea since i had to start over the other week when my profile randomly went corrupt. Will definatly have to back mine up this time Quote
Ken Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I still back my profile up even after this happened **CLICK** I back up everything, to the cloud and to my extra hard drives. I keep one of them in a fire proof safe, just incase. Quote
Octane Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Great plan, i really should look into putting my et folder in a flashdrive, but some people i guess wanna start all over with maybe a new kd. I know kd resets are a huge want for many players! Quote
Midnight Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I never back up. If it happens it happens. I never play for accomplishments and the only gun that is gold is the deagle. I honestly don't care enough to allow myself to become so engaged in fictitious world. 1 Quote
Jacker Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 backin' up is pretty important - if you dont want to invest the time again! spanky learned it the hard way, we tried all kinds of stuff to revive them, but nothing worked... i love playing my lvl55 - but also like the thrill of getting new profiles to the top - just to prove myself how godlike i am but back to topic: aint there a possibility to back up the folder somewhere here? like the most distanced point from our homes with all the harddrives and flashdrives and whatever?

Dddrgn Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I will most likely just back up my profile to an external drive that I have, that way if anything happens it's fine, although, starting over clean is always nice. That's what I did when I installed COD4 on this computer, and I'm around level 30 now. Quote
