Backups and saved games

BaseballMan · 03-20-2016, 10:39 AM

I can make a backup and load a backup from within the game but i dont see the backup folder. I also dont see anything in saved games but if i try to save a backup there from within the game i do see my saved leagues.

I save my games at 3 points during a season so i dont always want a new backup overwriting a previous backup.
I make 3 saves to a yearly folder.
1 preseason
2 end of regular season but before offseason
3 on dec 31st.

Works fine on my windows 10 laptop. But for some reason it doesnt work on my imac. I did format the drive and put only windows on it. It worked fine with ootp 16. Weird.

Maybe someone has the answer to this:

If I make a backup within the game and choose copy all files, I obviously get a backup. But if I manually go to my save game folder and cope the entire save game.lg-folder, will that be a backup as well or will I miss something?

I'm wondering because for some reason my computer seems to copy the save game.lg folder quicker than when making a backup from within the OOTP.

Anyone knows this?
