I would normally post this in the AIG forum but it’s been hacked and should it return it’s likely to be read-only.

My AIG installation comprises of 1,176 BGL files plus 76 AIGFP ones. Plus all the associated aircraft and other relevant files. It’s 52.3Gb in size.

Although it’s backed up as part of a system backup it changes far more regularly than other parts of P3D.

So to ensure I have a current copy I’ve created a batch file to copy the contents of the top folder- AIG - and all subfolders to my NAS drive.

Here’s the command should any of you feel the need.

Use Notepad or Notepad++ for this.

ROBOCOPY C:\AIG Z:\AIG /e /xo.

Z being my NAS drive although any other drive with a fixed drive letter is fine.

/e copies subdirectories.

/xo Source directory files older than the destination are excluded from the copy.

Name your file with an appropriate name with a BAT extension. That’s a batch file in DOS.

Then right-click the icon and select “Run as administrator”.

Should anything go wrong with an addition to your AIG installation it’s easy to copy it back renaming the original AIG folder to AIG_Temp first just in case.

Thank you for these instructions Ray.

I've got my AIG traffic and AI companion in a good place and I have been wondering how I could back it up.

Could i also use this method to back up my GSX installation?

kind regards

Yes. It’s the same set of commands. Use C:\Program Files(x86)\Addon Manager.

Double check that’s the correct naming. Done away from my PC.

Perfect :)
