Backup & Restore

Menu: Tools ▸ HAF ▸ Backup and Restore (window title Backup & Restore).

A safety net for everything the ENCReload git repo does not track. That repo versions only Assets/Databases; the rest of the working set — the editor tooling, the licensed source models, the baked assets, the Tools/ scripts, and the live BepInEx runtime config the plugin reads — otherwise lives on disk with no version control. This window snapshots all of it to a timestamped folder on D:.

What it captures

Each group is an independent toggle with a live size readout:

Group	Source
Editor scripts	`Assets/Scripts/Editor`
Source models	`Assets/FactorySource` (the bake inputs — never shipped in the mod)
Baked assets	`Assets/Resources` (skeletons, atlases, clip collections, PNGs)
ENC Databases	`Assets/Databases`
Tools	`Tools/` (Blender rig/convert scripts, `glbconv`)
Runtime config	`BepInEx/config/haf_*.json` + `haf_skins/` + `haf_sounds/` (the regenerable `haf_atlas_dump/` is skipped)

How a backup is stored

Back up now writes a new folder D:\HAF_Backups\<yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmss>\ (destination is configurable and remembered). Inside, each source is copied under <group>/<name>, alongside a manifest.txt that records every source’s original absolute path, file count, and byte size. Backups are never overwritten (each is a fresh timestamp) and never auto-deleted. After copying, the file count is re-verified against the manifest and reported — a mismatch is flagged loudly.

Restore — guarded three ways

Restore reads a backup’s manifest and copies each source back to its original path, but never at the cost of current work:

Auto pre-restore snapshot. Before touching anything, the current state of exactly the paths about to be overwritten is saved to a _prerestore_<timestamp> backup. A wrong restore is always undoable — just restore that snapshot.
Additive only. Files present in the backup overwrite their current versions, but any file you have added since (not in the backup) is left untouched. New work can’t vanish. There is deliberately no destructive “mirror/clean” mode.
Explicit confirmation. A dialog lists exactly which original paths will be written before anything happens, and the restored file count is reported afterward. AssetDatabase.Refresh() reimports the restored assets.

Delete removes a backup folder only (live files untouched), after a confirm.

Notes

The window itself lives in the un-tracked Assets/Scripts/Editor, so its own Editor scripts group backs itself up — and captures any other unversioned editor-tool edits along with it.
Unity .meta files are copied with their assets, so restored assets keep their GUIDs/import settings.
Directory sizes are cached; hit ↻ sizes to recompute after big changes.
