MechaDragon Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi Everyone, I have a LaunchBox portable installation on an external HD. I'd like to make a subset/copy of this installation but selectively move specific systems or sets over to an environment that has a much smaller amount of storage. Is there a best practice for doing that? Excluding specific folders, config files, etc? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Okay basically you would want to copy everything except the platforms you don't plan on having included in your smaller build. 1st copy everything in your old LB build to your new computer except you games images manuals music and video folders. This is assuming you don't have the space to copy everything. If you don't have the space you would have to go to those folders and manually copy only the files you want leaving the platforms you no longer needed. If you do have that space just copy the whole build and then delete the specific media for the unwanted platforms from the copy. Folders that can be edited will be Data\platforms in there you will be able to delete the platforms that are no longer relevant to this build then repeat for games images manuals music and video. Just navigate into each of those folders and delete all the folders that pertain to systems you no longer have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Just mirror with exclusions. I use ViceVersa to sync, and I exclude several folders that I don’t wanna be synced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
