How-To Geek

I have set up all my skins and layouts just the way I want them, and I'd like to backup everything, in case something happens or one day I get a new computer and have to transfer everything over. I went on the rainmeter website, but there's no topic on backing up.

What do I have to do? Thanks.

That doesn't help me understand anything at all..

While you can make an image backup of your computer's current configuration very easily with Macrium Reflect which will put everything back on your computer should there be a failure, it will not carry over to a completely different computer. There is no good way to do that for any software let alone the complexities you describe. On a new computer the software and add-ons would have to be installed again from scratch only the data could be saved and resurrected.

Guidez, I'm sure you're referring to the layout of the skins. If yes, do 2 things:

1. Backup all the customizations you've installed (they'll be in the rainmeter folder).
2. Take a screenshot of your desktop and save it. Now you can set up the same configuration on any other PC (just try to arrange the skins in the same way).

EDIT: Scratch that, this might help: http://rainmeter.net/forum/vie.....#38;t=4620

It is unbelievably impractical to image your entire drive/computer just to backup a couple files... And if I get a new computer, that doesn't help me at all.

Now thanks to sarahjames, I actually found that folder, so I'll just copy it over to a backup drive. Thanks :)

Still not the point. I asked this question to find a practical solution. Imaging your whole drive for this purpose (backup up a folder) is not reasonable.
