    @sdetweil hey thanks a lot. I appreciate that
    I will definitely check it out
    I kind of made my own. It’s very basic but seems to do the trick
    it is menu-driven so I can choose which modules I want to backup or restore
    I’m fairly new at writing scripts. They are a lot of fun

          @sdetweil sorry it’s been so long since I replied to this form.
          So I wanted to just let you know I did make my own backup and restore scripts.
          The backup is pretty simple. It just makes a copy of my modules folder and stores it in a safe place.

          The restore is a little bit different. It will restore the module folder to its original location and then use npm install in each folder.
          It worked perfectly

          I tested it Under virtual disk. I install magic. Mayor the traditional way and then use my restore program and it worked perfectly.

          I wanted to thank you for all your help and your ideas

            @ray no problem… the fact that you have backup and restore is the good thing…
