Why? Does the installation of RW2014 involve a full file verification? I doubt it. Unless they are changing the file structure in some way I cant see how the asset folder will be altered at all?
No, this won't be necessary unless the update goes wrong (as has happened before) and a manual verify is required. This will obviously remove all of the AP sound files that will then need copying back over - and this way is much simpler than running multiple installers...

Now that TS2014 has arrived I am preparing folders once again for backups of the original RSC supplied DLC Assets and Contents and folders for the complete Assets & Contents which include all the 3rd party addons as well. I have just switched to using Nero BackItup 2014 (previously used FreefileSync) My question is : Which is the best way to backup each of these four folders, Sync,(able to then copy & paste back into the game) or a Full backup ?
