Backup your index files

After installing the game or receiving a game patch it’s important to backup your clean index files.

  1. Create a backup of your clean index files

    > ./FFMT-LINUX backup

    `

These are stored in the directory you’ve chosen in the configuration file (see first-time setup) or defined with argument (-b, –backupdirectory)

Resetting

Resetting ensures that the index files are back to stock:

 ```
 > ./FFMT-LINUX reset
 ```
