Fastest way to backup all of my control profiles?

[HoneyBadger]

I'm going to be doing a reinstall of Windows and I want to backup my control binds. I don't want to tediously save a profile for every controller per aircraft so is there a faster way to do this?

I think there is a configs file in saved games... idk

 

When I did a fresh install I just saved them all individually and properly labeled them. Made for a no confusion rebind.

Copy your dcs folder which is in the saved games directory.

Copying the savegames folder is indeed the easiest and fastest way to make a backup of all DCS settings.

However. With a fresh windows install, your usb devices will most likely have assigned differend IDs by windows. The controls setups are bound to a certain device ID, so in order to make them work again, you need to rename the config files to the new IDs then.

As above. This tool is also very useful:
