When I want to quit and save I click on save and it saves to the same folder as it has been. Then I tell it to back it up and it does that to same folder, then I tell it to quit. Is there something else I should be doing or doing some thing different?

I always move my backup to a new folder on my X drive before starting a new backup. I backup my EBL vs MLB League 6 times a season. January 1st (sometimes HOF induction), Opening Day, ASG, End of regular season, end of postseason and after i edit The amateur draft for new players. i have had this save since OOTP 11, although in its current form since OOTP 13.

I have had 3 crashes in that time and lost several weeks to months worth of data. I hand edited each player in my EBL (that i have stats for, last count was 600 players) and lost from January 3rd back to October 12th the previous season. I was pissed and quit that league for 5 months.
Most of my issues with OOTP tend to be my fault or the way my league is constructed. Not saying that is true with your save.



Take a break, we'll be here when you come back.
