Espionage724 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I have: Diablo II Warcraft III UT2K4 Halo I want to back them all up also. Could I just take the folder and drag and drop it to my external HDD and then put them back when I reinstall OS X?

hoyanf Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I have: Diablo II Warcraft III UT2K4 Halo I want to back them all up also. Could I just take the folder and drag and drop it to my external HDD and then put them back when I reinstall OS X? It's the direct interpretation off "Drag 'n Drop"... Any software that you installed using the "Drag 'n Drop" feature is moveable to anywhere you like (it won't run from Trash). If you like you can create a DMG of it and keep it somewhere for safekeeping, me i just place it on my server. Whereas not easily done on windows platform, till recently we see "PortableApps" created... If you're new to this platform, it's a total new simplified way to manage your apps/games... P.S. Piece of advice you'd have to unlearn what you have learned on windows... It's a totally new experience...

vbetts Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 With some games you can just copy the registry files and the game files. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116606-can-i-backup-games/#findComment-825658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
