Backing up GTA:SA save files

[autopilot]

I need to back up my save games for GTA:San Andreas for when i reinstal it after a major upgrade tomorrow. Are the save games i want to keep the '.b' files in the My Documents/GTA San Andreas User Files folder? Shall i just keep the whole folder? Or are there any other files i need to keep elsewhere?

the whole of that directory you should save and it will be fine.

I've migrated it from my 32 bit my documents to the 64 bit one and everything is good!

I've just done the same and it works fine.... just make sure you don't use a cheat and save... this can ruin yoiur save game file...... and I only wanted to play with the harrier jumpjet.... sooo angry

Just that directory works fine, same for GTA3 & GTA:VC. Formatted tons of times and always have my documents backed up, and whenever I install the game again it works fine.

If you have any mods installed you will need to back them up though... (not in My Documents)
