Backing up TOCA........

Backing up TOCA........

Doh!

You know what I'm going to say, don't you?    While the rest of you scorch
round distant circuits in your Dodge Vipers, or chase Carl Fogerty on your
Ducatis, some of us are still dragging our sorry selves round Brands Hatch
in a two year-old Renault Laguna.   Yes, the unthinkable happened, a
catastrophic disc failure that wiped out my entire TOCA installation.   I
kept MEANING to make that back-up, honestly............

So now, full of good intentions, I go looking for the save folder to
back-up, but all I can find is the time trial saves.     Does anyone know
which files/folders I should be backing up to save myself further
embarrassment?

Yours, from the back of the grid...........

Anne.

Reboot your computer.  Immediately play TOCA.  Do a search for files updated in
the last day and sort them by time, latest first.  The ones in your TOCA folder
with time stamps since the reboot are the ones to back up.

I love the game, too, and will get back to you on which files you need to back
up. I could also, if you'd like, send you my save files so you could have
access to all the tracks back. (Never did unlock those other cars, though...)
