Rel updated on Jan 31, 2024 to Data Backup Questions Answered | How-to Articles

I am a Skyrim player and am accustomed to using Nexus Mod Manager to run the mods I have added. I bought a new computer a few days ago and it will be delivered to my home tomorrow. Now I'm very upset that I want to move Skyrim to my new computer, but how to back up my Skyrim mods? Do I only need to back up one folder, or do I want to copy all the files?

Hi there, you can follow the simple steps I provide below to back up Skyrim mods from Nexus Mod Manager with great ease.

Step 1. Run Nexus Mod Manager

Step 2. Hit the Folder icon with a red arrow

Step 3. Click the Open NMM's Mods Folder button

Step 4. Then you will navigate to the Mods folder location, and now you can back these files up.

As for the backup method, based on your situation, I recommend that you use EaseUS Todo Backup Home to back up all Skyrim files, including saves.

EaseUS Todo Backup Home is effective software for game backup. You can set the Skyrim mods location as the backup target and set the backup plan to incremental backup mode.

 With this setting, whenever you install a new mod file, EaseUS Todo Backup Home will automatically back up the latest file content for you. At the same time, you can use the cloud space it provides for free to save copies of all files in it. With its help, you can quickly restore game data anytime and anywhere.

Compared to manual backup, EaseUS Todo Backup Home can provide you with a more comprehensive, stable, and easier backup plan.
