How do I back up the game?

with online only purchase

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello,

I figured since I'm in China the shipping fee could be quite a bit so I chose not to get the box... so now I'm wondering how do I back up the game? Or all I need to do is keep the serial , should I reinstall my PC I just download again using stardock central and the serial?

Would burn the program folders to a disc work?


Thanks!

Well, try the archive feature in SDC

You can archive the files in SDC (like Peace Phoenix said) -- but when you burn the archive to CD, don't forget to include a copy of the SDC installer as well to uncompress the files

To actually answer you ..... Yes, i am prettu sure you can just download the game as many times as you want with your stardock login and password. Since you already bought the game, why would you have to buy it again?
You just gotta remember your login and password, and have the serial just in case.

Yeah, the game was built so that you don't have to keep the CDs. You can always re-download them from their site. Even if you forget your serial number, there's a way to retrieve that as well (although you _REALLY_ should keep up with that at least). So archive, and bundle it all together on a disc and you should be set!
