Things To Backup When Installing New Versions

When installing a new version of the current game, like the new 50 beta, e.g. what are things you should back up (so can you restore after the installation)?

I'll start the list because this is the one I always do:

1)fg_files. I've read here that any custom fgs get overwritten by a file with the same name, and if you want save those you've modified you'd better make a copy of them.

In the past custom cams disappeared when updating, I believe the solution was to make a copy of your ballparks folder and save it outside of your OOTP folder then paste it back in after the update.
Can someone else comment if this is the right advice?

i back up all the files. and i back up every time i am ready to exit the game using the game back-up feature. then i zip those files to a different hard drive -so i always have two backups to go to if i ever need it (and it happens i've needed it more than once) . by backing all the files, all my logos and jerseys, etc are in the back-up files and slide into the restored game perfectly. ( i save the back-up files for two game years. at the start of year 3 - i delete the oldest year - so at worst i am am not more than a year or two of lost games if it ever comes to that - rather than losing everything and having to start completely over...)

What does the backup feature in-game include? Does it include data files like facegens or just your saved games?

Mostly on the graphics side. the following always get overwritten:

custom sky backgrounds
Custom icons
custom free agent jerseys

I heard the world.xml file gets overwritten too
