Backing Up Campaign(s) and Logbook ?

[RSWedge]

:helpsmilie: I will be doing a hardware and OS upgrade and want to back up my campaign and logbook. What files do I need to copy/backup for saving my Logbook and progress in campaigns?

 

Thanks for any help.

I believe I backed up the "Players.lua" (\data\scripts\Logbook).

 

This maintained my logbook and campaign status when moving beteen Russian and Western DL versions.

I am having stupid problem, or maybe it isnt.

Since I have moved my Black shark to w7 (it works much much better) I wanted to continue my campaign with my old profile.

 

I have copied player.lua from Black shark folder, and that player.lua file was created under xp instalation of BS. Problem is that by moving player.lua to logbook folder on w7 instaltation doesnt do nothing - my old profile is not loaded.

 

So whats the catch!

 

Salute!!!

This could be caused by the file virtualization feature (which I guess is also present in Win 7). Check if the Explorer shows a "Compatibility Files" button when you browse to the directory with the player.lua file. If so make sure that you run Black Shark in admin mode and that you have full write access to that folder. If you don't have write access to a folder in the "Program Files" tree, Windows automatically moves a file that you copy there to another location in order to protect your installed programs.

My Vista installation places these files within c:\users, like this;

 

C:\Users\<INSERTUSERNAMEHERE!>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50 etc etc.

 

So if you're placing your backups into the Program Files folder, Win7 probably isn't reading them from there, but from the above folder.
