@sdetweil No worries and a pleasure.

@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…
