How I backup my league (PKZIP) and how I play the game...

Sorry to here this. I always start at 1871 using baseball reference.

Backup? I started playing this with OOTP2 - I hate when I make a mistake or game goes bump.

I have developed a routine. Each major event of a season, I stop and make a backup to 3 places. My PC Hard drive and two external drives. When last out is made in final game, I save, make the almanac, get out of the game, and under my OOTP26 (whever ever version) I have a backup folder. Under there I make a folder 1888_Ends I PKZIP my mlb.lg to that folder and then I copy that folder to my other 2 drives. I then advance to next pre-season and make a folder 1889_Pre-Pre-Season before I make changes like schedule, rules, or Baseball Reference/ChatGPT transactions. I finish that and make another folder - 1889_Pre-Opening-Day and repeat the process. I advance to Opening Day - shenagins happen between pre-season and opening day (I play by Cubs - all other teams AI controlled. I play as GM - commissioner mode - can't be fired), I make another backup - 1889_Opening_Day - I then play out the season until last out of last game and do it all again... :-) One thing I do is on opening day I do the MLB-All-Players report and balance out SP, RP and C - AI isn't very good at that - I make trades between a team needing a SP,RP or C with a team that has more. Does that make sense. I play month to month and first of each month make roster moves and look for free agents.
