How to backup my system?

Post by bigphil »

Hi all,

I'm still trying to get mtink to run (see previous post) and have decided to install the version on their website.
However I would like to backup my system first.
Is it sufficient to just backup the save file or is it wise to backup all the .sfs file (adrv_fossapup64_9.5 etc)?

Regards
Phil.

No need to backup adrv or other sfs's. They are read-only and can be copied from the ISO at any time if needed. The ISO can be downloaded again (or kept on the media).

So a savefile backup should be enough.
