First thing is to find out where TANE currently has your content installed. This can be done from the Trainz settings > install tab. Copy and paste that in the address bar or manually navigate to the location.
+
 
+
 
+
Once you are there, you'll see the following folders:
+
 
+
Backups - this contains the backups that TANE creates
+
Cache - internet related things such as DLS previews, DLC downloads, etc.
+
Editing - assets that are currently open for editing via content manager
+
Libraries - game scripts
+
Local - modified content; non-DLS content. They can contain your created content, content installed from 3rd party sites (such as JR, K&L, etc)
+
Original - DLS content; content that has been downloaded in its original form from the DLS
+
Packages - DLC items; content that has been purchased from the Trainz Store or from Steam
+
Screenshots - screenshots taken from in-game
+
 
+
 
+
I would backupup the local folder as this contains all of the modified content that you currently have installed.
+
If you want to save yourself time, I would also recommend backing up the original folder as this contains all of the DLS content that you've downloaded.
+
 
+
To reduce the number of files, and the size, I would recommend compressing the selected folder(s) using 7zip or your current compressor.
+
 
+
That's all to it to backup your Trainz content
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
== '''Restoring your content''' ==
+
 
+
This follows the same exact way of backing up your content, so I'm not going to go into much details on this.
+
 
+
Extract all of the files from the backup you had created, and then matching the folder name (local = local, original = original), place the files into that folder.
+
Once the files are restored to their proper place, run a database update (developer > rebuild database) so TANE can pickup the restored files. Once the database update is finished, you can now use the restored files.
