Full program backups
Wednesday, September 1, 2004 by FirewallXL5 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hello All,
I have just downloaded the complete Object Desktop. I only have 56k connection, so you can imagine it took ages. In about 2 weeks I am upgrading my computer hardware (still only 56k available). I don't want to have to go through the entire download process again. How do you back up each of the full programs in Object Desktop or just object desktop with the programs embedded, so that I can reload them when the rebuild is complete. I have tried archive, but it doesn't appear to do the whole program, just certain files. Your help is appreciated.

Open up Stardock Central, right-click on an item, select Archive Application, select Selected Application. Do each one you want to back up. The folder is located in Program files/SD Central/Backup.

Many thanks chaps. I assume that when I re-format the computer, all I need to do is re-load STARDOCK CENTRAL. And then copy back my saved archives into the BACKUP folder and the restore archive from within STARDOCKCENTRAL. A quick confirmation would be appreciated.
