I have been playing for a long time now. I have already learned a leason last time i tried this when i lost my level 75 explorer and 50th level sorc. I am fdisking my hard drive for varoius unrelated issues and am curious how to save all my char info for when I re install Demise. If i remember i should just do a backup then copy that on to a zip drive or burn to a cd. Are there more files i need? How do i or where do i put them back on my hd? Will i lose all my spells? Do i reinstall the characters first or the patches? Any help would be appreciated.

You only have to keep the contents of backup directory. When you install the game again put that folder back where it was, run game and restore backup files, run again enter dungeon then exit (at this time your characters and their stuff might be wrong but that's ok).Then install the 3.1 patch and let it replace your characters files maps etc,exit and install 353 patch.So now you are ready to play again! The only bad thing is that you have to remap dungeon from beginning.

For your files the most important once (at least the once I save) are the files below (.ded): by saving this files the only thing you lose is your map. Character file, store, companion store, Guild spell, spell, library, monster, item, hall of fame (if you want that) * you can do a back up as every one does. But if you know how to install and place your characters in after the reinstall, just add the rest of the files in with the character files. For most of the files I save, I just place them on a reg. disk or zip disk or the internet (xdrive.com, streamload.com, myspace.com you get the picture) hope that helps.
