A guide about how to backup your save files
After seeing a number of people ask this I firgaured that it would be better to create an easy to find thread that answers this question. Sometime it's easy to forget that some of us are fairly new to modding and haven't spend many years tinkering with files.

I'll paste the anwser I gave in the main thread:

"Look for a folder called "storage" wherever you intalled Starbound (a shortcut incase you are unsure where that is is to right-click on Starbound in the LIBRARY, click Properties, go to the LOCAL FILES tab, amd click BROWSE LOCAL FILES). In there you will find folders labeled "universe" and "player". Save a copy of those two folders else where.

That's all you need to do. If you want to restore the old data, just detele the files you don't want and copy the backup back in."

If there are any other questions just ask since I know that some of you might still be a bit unsure about things.

Is there any way to save 1 planet, but regenerate the rest of the universe? For example save your homeworld you built a village in, but regenerate the rest (even the star system its in?)

yes. find the planet in your universe folder. back it up. kill the rest.

With some smart batch scripting knowledge, a Dropbox account and 7Zip you can automate this by having it so that everytime the game exits, the script renames any past zip backups with a rolling number value appended to the end of the file extension, before zipping the entire player folder and saving it to an assigned Dropbox directory.

How do you identitfy the desired planet to keep? A planet serial number is completely different from a planet name.
I suppose I could make a guess based off file size, but how to know definitely?

I think part of the massive number in the file name is same as the world's in game location. Two of those three sets of number are what you want, but it has been too long since I last check so I've forgotten which. Also if you visit a world then exit and check your log file you should be able to get some info from that.

Ok, thanks. I whent ahead and guessed by file size, not that hard as there was only one planet with over 2mb file size at 7mb. The hard part was figuring how much to delete so the universe reset, but my planet stayed in place. I think my end result was effectively a reset of the universe, minus my current system, and the name of my target planet system+target planet. (every planet within said system got regenned except the target planet) Which I'm happy with. Except that it took 2hrs of messing around to figure it out.

Yeah the files aren't really labeled in an easy to understand way. Of course the devs only intended people who (somewhat) know what they are doing to be messing with save files in the first place, so making them super user friendly was not a goal.
