This page guides you through setting up a backup mod and/or recovering a corrupt world.
 
= Backup Options =
You have several options, depending on your familiarity with filesystemsfile systems.
== Manual Backup ==
This, of course, has to be done manually. You can also write a simple [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_file batch file] or other script to do it automatically. Make sure you capture everything in your save file, as well as the ''journeymap'' and ''tcnodefinder'' directories. This is best done before or after each gaming session.
Line 18 ⟶ 16:
 
== AromaBackup ==
[https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/aromabackup AromaBackup] allows users to automatically backup worlds. It allows you to choose the frequency of backups, along with the number to keep. Recommended for use in singleplayer or LAN worlds. Comes installed with GT:NH by default.
 
Config under <code>config/aroma1997/AromaBackup.cfg</code>

==Backing up items in-game==
1.7.10 lacks many of the features available by default in more modern incarnations of [[NEI]]/Creative, such as saving and loading hotbars. If you want to make a save of your important tools, Golden Lasso'd creatures or items, bookmark them in NEI. You'll be able to respawn a backup copy (including all metadata) if you go into Cheat Mode. The bookmark data is stored in <code>/your_instance/saves/NEI/global/bookmarks.ini</code> by default. This file can be opened in a text editor or backed up to safeguard any item that can be bookmarked. Be warned that [[Backpack]]s from Editted for ModdedNetwork do not store their data in a way NEI understands.
 
This method can also be used to transfer items and even [[Dolly|dollied]] chests between worlds, particularly helpful if you need to test something without messing up your currentsurvival world.
