Kalju Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Then you can use any of the backup maker or make a simple copy manually. Why make things difficult if it is so simple. You can also make simple backup script, if something is changing periodically and You need to change (update) also the backup file. But maybe You want to visit giveawayoftheday.com, there is one portable backup pro just now available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone there Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 The problem is that the setup is not in my computer only but it will be in others users computers and all they will do is to install my program they don't have to do backup manually or using scripts they want things to run automatically for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you will replace files from multiple directories it will be a mess... especially if you start replacing files from the windows system directory... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3531599/backup-files-and-restore-them-on-uninstall-with-innosetup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
