I backed up the IPA this morning using the backup mechanism in the game... I hope if I have a problem, all I have to do hit "restore" and I will be back in business at the same point... hope the backup in the game is reliable... in my 18 years playing OOTP I used it one time previously when my game got corrupted and it did not work... I lost about 5 seasons of the IPA at that time.

I am now backing up the game on an external hard drive... it has 7,000,000 items to transfer... expected to take 23 hours.

From 10:30 am to 7 pm it has completed 33%.

If I get a good backup pm on the external hard drive, I will then convert OOTP19 to OOTP20 and then to OOTP21.

It looks like it may take 3 days or so due to the size of my league.
