General

SIMconfigBackup is a small to to create backups of your important flightsimulator configuration files. The idea of the software came up as a AddOn installation fully reordered my scenery.cfg. I decided that it would have been a good idea to had have a backup… ;O)

Features

• Native support of FS9, FSX, FSX-SE, P3Dv1, P3Dv2, P3Dv3 and P3Dv4
• Create unlimited BackupSets for different requirements (e.g. all your panel.cfg prior a aircraft update)
• Add files by wildcard (e.g. “*.cfg” or “aircraft.cfg” in .\SimObjects)
• Add source directorys
• Restore one file or multiple files of a backup
• SaveCopy to create backup of target files (e.g. for PREPAR3D® Hotfixes)

Default BackupSets included

The BackupSet just include these files if they are availible when the BackupSet will be created first time (or by clicking at “File > Restore BackupSets”). Beside these default Sets you are able to create your own BackupSets.
