Game Backup for Download only?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I just purchased the direct download of Galciv2 from Stardock. I am at work so bandwidth is not an issue. But I only have dial-up at home. 1-2 times a year for various reasons I need to reload/format my system. So when that time arrives how can I reinstall Galciv2 without having to redownload it? Can I just copy the Galciv2 directory structure to a CD and recover that way? Any help would be appreciated.

I can't open it right now (XP is acting screwy and I don't want to reboot yet), but there is an option in SDC to "archive" the game. You probably just right click on it and select that or something along those lines.

What Consumed Crustacean said. Right click on the GalCiv 2 listing in SDC, and you'll see an "Archive" option. Right below that you'll see a "Restore Archive" option, for when you've taken the Archive home and want to get it running again.

Thanks for the responses, I apologize for the multiple posts on the same subject. There was a hiccup in the Net and/or my system so I ended up with 3 post on the same subject, sorry.
