Just re-mapped out all lines of sight for a mega dungeon. I want to make sure these are saved and wish to export them [or the file that would contain them]. Watched tutorials and explored the FAQ to some extent but they seemed to only explain how an image and not LOS could be exported but how does one backup and export LOS?? Or are they packaged in automatically with the standard campaign/module export?
Please and thank you in advance for your input.

It's pretty straight forward, just right click on the layer with the LoS, and select export metadata.
Here is a guide (https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996645681/Developer+Guide+-+Extracting+LOS+Data+for+Modules).
I would say, you should keep the image and LoS data together, just to make sure they are always together, the LoS data is specific to the image, so it won't typically work with a different one (they would need to be pretty much the exact same size).

Or just export to module. Or you really should be backing up your FG Data folder regularly anyway. And your campaign data keeps ~5 backups in the campaign folder as so you are already pretty safe from corruption.

Yes. If your image is being exported into the module (i.e. you're not adding LoS to an image in another module) then the LoS automatically exports with the image.
