BackUps
 

Prior to a complete computer rebuild I used the Minion Back Up function and have a file called Minion backup.zip. How can I install these files, Minion does nothing?

Minion is just backing up the SavedVariables of your addons and the UserSettings + AddonSettings from c:\users\your username\documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live<eu>\

So if you choose to restore something it will just restore the savedvariables of your addons etc.

Start Minion -> Choose the backup tab -> choose your backuped entry from the list (mark it) and press teh Restore button.

After this restart Minion and try if the addons are recockgnized again.
If not: Manually install your addons of need and the saved variables should be there again at least.

If they are not there just manually extract the files from teh ZIP archive to the appropriate folder (see above) and you should be fine with your SavedVariables at least!

Hint: by the help of the filenames in the SavedVariables folder you should be able to see which addons you were using before and finde them manually in Minion again!
