Making backups in 1.10

Making backups in 1.10

In 1.09 I would always backup my characters and my ATMA stashes to a floppy after I was done playing for the day. I want to do that in 1.10 as well, but now I notice that in addition to the .d2s file (and the .ma# map files which I know don't need to be backed up) for each character, there are a bunch of .org files for my character, and they're only about 3kb each. I also notice that ATMA has the same thing for each stash as well, instead of just the .d2x and one .org file.

Anyway, I looked in the FAQs and didn't find any mention of it, but do those .org files all need to be copied to make a backup? Which files are needed for both the chars and the stashes?

The .org files are made by ATMA and are backups of the .d2s character files.

Exactly. No need to worry about them at all.

Ah, great. That's what I needed to know. I'll just copy the .d2x and .d2s files over then.

Thanks guys!

Disks are a good way to make backups. What I usually do is just zip my save dir and email it to my own google/gmail account for off site storage. Just an idea

I would say floppy disks are a bad way to back up data. They are just too unreliable. I also back up my data on the internet in my case on the server space my ISP gives me.

Regular back-ups are a good idea, as all those people who have lost characters and items to HD crashes can tell you.

I use a USB keychain drive for backups, which works pretty well.
