OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Some direction regarding a back up would be appreciated

I just started an Oakland standard game save (now 14 games in). Named it "Oakland A's 2021"

I made a really stupid transactional error 6 games into it simply by being careless with my mouse. Couldn't figure out how to undo it, even in commish mode.

It was going to be a costly error - both on the field and financially - so I restored the game from it's back up and renamed it "Oakland Athletics 2021" and carried on. Everything was - and is - fine with this saved game to this point.

However, I back up daily and I've noticed that the back up to this new save is significantly smaller than the saved game. the saved game is 1.22 GB while the back up is only 883 MB.

I'm concerned the back up is incomplete (missing data), should I ever need to restore it.

Is there a good way to make a new back up and ensure it is complete?
