    Since our project folders will be in the plug-in directory, what would be the correct procedure for backing up? It seems UE is doing some behind the scenes housekeeping on the plug-in directory. I'm thinking just dropping in different versions of the saved folder may corrupt something? Recommendations?

    I'm not sure that putting "older" versions of the same files actually breaks anything, let's say you had a formation definition that you didn't like instead of deleting it in the editor you delete it in the file explorer, where that def was used it just "disappears" (changes to none) so in my opinion it shouldn't change anything.

    As long as ue4 is closed when you do something it should be fine.
