    I think it does. I think the default location on Win 10 is ProgramData; but as Andraax says check in settings exactly here your FGData is stored (you can also get there by clicking the small folder icon to right of the start screen)

    There was a period of time where FG's default data location was ProgramData\Fantasy Grounds (v3.0.13 to v3.1.7 - about 1 year) - but there were occasional access rights issues with this location. So the default was changed back to be under the AppData path. If you installed during the period when the default was ProgramData then that's what you'll use.
    Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages. General FG questions should be asked in the forums - don't be afraid, the FG community don't bite and you're giving everyone the chance to respond and learn!

    Didn't think of that!

    Yes, ProgramData is where my Campaign folder lives, not sure if that was default or I changed it!

    Thanks

    The default location on Win10 is "%appdata%\Fantasy Grounds".

    Thanks all for the answers.
    I am going to switch it back to %APPDATA% because you are right, it does throw up occasional complaints in ProgramData (have only just purchased Fantasy Grounds so new to it).

    Anyone test this on a MacBook macOS High Sierra yet?

    As I understand the process, it backs up the campaign data so you have a fall back (EG - PC jacks up their character sheet). Assume you could import a single sheet from that backup. Or, would you delete the messed up sheet and copy over the backed up sheet into the active folder?

    I noticed in my case, the data is saved in C:/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/Fantasy Grounds/

    My user name is user....

    It also looked like the default was to hide viewing of the folder AppData, so I had to make that viewable so I could look at it.

    I guess the best thing is to look at the FG settings to see how it has setup the save location by default. That is what I did. I am looking at these batch file options, which look good. I would hate to lose all of my work.

    I ended up making a simple batch file called Backup_FG.bat for my Windows 10 laptop. It has one line:

    ROBOCOPY "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds" "C:\Users\user\Dropbox\Shared_Home\Fantasy Grounds Data" /mir

    In my case, I only log in as one user while I am playing, so this works for me. This batch file isn't automated, although I will probably add that option because I am sure to forget to run it over time.

    Welcome patriot101 - be aware that if something happened to your files stored locally and you did a /MIR it would update the dropbox copy with the (now) damaged files
    Backups are generally recommended that you have multiple copies in case your current backup file is damaged (or has backed up damaged data)
    Do consider expanding your one liner a little

    Holy necro-thread batman....I know, I know....

    So if I wanted to put the location into the batch file with the full path, how would this be done in the batch file you wrote?

    My fantasy grounds folder isn't located in %appdata% if it's let's say: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\SmiteWorks\fantasy grounds\
    When I put in %appdata% it's looking where I used to have my FGC install, but FGU got installed to a different folder above -- "user" in that is my first name -- but when I use %appdata% that references a different username

    Thanks in advance
