      Is there an easy or even possible way to back up and restore my custom folder locations? I keep my Retropie folder on an external drive but some emulators save files to a different location. I am assuming these are the non-libreto cores. I know with changes in emulators and versions that the cfg files may change but is there a fairly straightforward way to have a script edit these locations or do the cfg files typically stay the same enough to safely reuse the old ones? Trying to simplify some of the things I do upon Kerbal/version/hardware changes.

      Thank you
