going to save my save files as will my mods to xfire online

[Chrispy]

How does Xfire actually recognize certain mods and stuff? Is it via a list of stuff that tells Xfire to back up, or just backs up what it thinks is a mod, etc? Just curious.

A good addition to Xfire though IMO.

it more like zip files but i'm really don't know tell you the truth i have try it see how it works out.

i would think like if you like to save game files like name.sav you can select it and upload it to the host site.

and there is?

Thank you for choosing Xfire Online Backup service.

don't know this is share were it ends or they like all to renew it every year no cost

OH, my bad. I thought it would automatically do it for you. Yeah, you're probably right. You might actually get the choice to upload the stuff yourself.

found out its a bet to get use to i did select to upload my dfbhd.sav file to the host site

basic you can upload the whole game folder but there is a limte 500mb to upload go over have to pay for that part of it.

you can upload any file you like it come with other option as will security to cover other folder and auto backup online games files as will. sample you play a game and the game.sav file it change it would update that file by set date or weekly, monthly, or every day.

i don't think you could upload the whole game folder that be way too big, and the file type it did not limited the file type i notice

there is so many options to this i can't even listing them all.

you can read up on it from here link: http://www.sosonlinebackup.com/beta/v1/support/

I still wouldn't trust them with my only backup - if I'm that concerned about backups I'm not going to do it to a site which may for some reason stop working (or maybe you need to restore a back up with out internet access).

Plus how many mods are you going to be able to backup? Don't know the sizes for other games but for BHD it would take up almost half of your 500mb limit...
