MORE INFORMATION

To manually back up your saved games in Crimson Skies:

3. Open the following default Crimson Skies installation folder

  <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Crimson Skies

  where <drive> is the letter of the hard disk on which Crimson Skies is
  installed.

folder.

  then click Paste.

  For example, you may want to paste the folder in the My Documents folder, the

folder from the location that you copied it to, back to the Crimson Skies
folder.

NOTE: When you copy the SavedGames folder back into the Crimson Skies folder, you
overwrite all the files in the SavedGames folder and any missions that you saved
after you copied the folder to the backup location.
