Need help with Mac Backup

Moneybrawler · 08-13-2018, 03:04 PM

I had to wipe and reinstall OS but I backed up my games in the game and the hard drive itself on a disk. Any ideas on where to find those backups on my backup disk and how to load them into my “new” game.

This maybe a bit late in coming but....Did you backup your HD to a disk using Time Machine? If you did, simply open Time Machine, click on Restore, make sure you have it set to the backup disk, and click Restore. It'll give you a list of files to restore. Click on Users and then your user ID. Next click on OOTP and that should do it.

If you simply backed up your HD to a disk, open the disk and search for OOTP. On a MAC, the game would be stored in your /User/Library/Container. Look there for the OOTP files.

I backed it all up but I can't find where the OOTP backups are stored. Under Applications under my user folder I don't have OOTP so maybe it didn't save? I don't see a folder named "Container."

The files are hidden.. When you search, make sure your hidden files are visible and listed.

How do you do that?
