answered Backup TE Data for Full 5.3 reinstall

[bhorv67]

Looking for recommendations here please

I'm facing a complete uninstall/reinstall of 5.3 and all add-ons. Trust me I don't want to do this, and have updated P3d for years without issue, but this incremental update did not go well.

I first tried to simply uninstall all of 5.2 by using the installer, then fully install 5.3. In past experience, all addons remain in place and work fine. Not sure what happened. 

I'm not looking to solve this issue here.

 

What I'd like to know is how should I go about backing up the 5 TE areas I have so not to download all this data again (I think my ISP will shut me down if I do). 

I'd like to completely format the drive and start over from a fresh install. 

Appreciate any help.

Hi

 

Where are your TE areas installed now?

 

I have mine installed on a separate drive in their own library created using Orbx Central, so there would not be an issue if I ever need to format and reinstall everything.

I just finished reinstalling over a terrabyte of Orbx scenery. I may wind up putting it in a separate library considering the possibility of future updates.

Installed in the sim. I prefer not to use libraries, have had nothing but indexing troubles when I did.

Then I guess the below topic may help.
