Is there another way of doing it?

I backup my league file by copying it and pasting on my desktop. Is there other ways? (stupid question I know)

if you restore the in-game backup, you'll lose your almanacs.

I really recommend the copy/paste method.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Copy & Paste it is then!

Yes, I would recommend against using the in-game backup and restore functions as there are certain files that don't restore exactly as they were.

Copy & Paste? Why not use WinZip? That will have the added bonus of making the league backup take up a heck of a lot less space on your hard drive.

I guess it depends on the size of your hardrive. Not a problem for me.

So what are the files we should be copying and setting aside for our "backups?".

The easiest way is to just zip up the entire league folder. You can remove logos, pictures, etc. depending on your preference.

i archive a year-end backup every year and delete the almanac from every year but the most recent one.
