DIM Content Backup

ferdD

I'm planning on wiping my drive and reinstall the OS, and eventually DAZ stuff as well.  Can I backup Daz Install Manager's manifests files or something so that all the content packages don't need to be individually installed again? Is it possible?

I don't mean DAZ Studio itself cuz I'm gonna upgrade it from 4.21 to latest. Just all the product contents, all which i've put in a custom folder location, not the default library.

Restoring a backup of the manifest folder would mean that DIM still sees that content as installed, which is likely what you want if you plan to backup/restore your content directory too.

Yeah, that sounds like exactly what I want to do. The correct manifests are in the following path right?

"C/Users/Public/Public Documents/DAZ 3D/ InstallManager/ ManifestFiles"

The number of manifests in there is the same as the total installed files in DIM.

That's correct
