Nexus Config Backup

A Nexus addon to provide backup config files used by various GW2 addons

Currently, all files in <GW2 Install>\addons except for .dll files are compressed into a zip file and stored under %USER%\Documents\nexus-configs folder with the time of each file timestamped in the format backup-YEAR-MONTH-DAY-HOUR-MINUTE.zip

Installation

Install directly from the Nexus Addons Library or if it's not available, install locally below

1. Download the latest .dll from the Releases page
2. Drop the .dll into your <Guild Wars 2>/addons/ folder
   1. Make sure the .dll is unblocked on your machine, by right-clicking the .dll file and clicking Properties
   2. If it's blocked at the bottom of the page if you see a "Unblock" checkbox, you must check this and save.

Usage

Once installed, right-click on the Nexus icon in your Quick Access bar and select "Run Backup"

Note: Currently running the backup will freeze your game for a second file your files are being compressed and saved, try not to run the backup during important gameplay

• Add functionality to configure location of the backup
• Run backup code in a background thread to prevent the game from locking up during backup
• Add functionality to restore configs from directory
• Add functionality to configure number of backups to keep
