How is the best way to back up project for new computer.

Hey all.

I just wondered what I would need to back up to continue my project on another computer I’ll be using. So far I’ve only backed up the Unity folder the project is in. Are there other folders so I can just continue like nothing happened?

Learn and start using revision control like git.
For example github.
There are tons of examples online, on what git is, how to use it, how to upload Unity project etc. Just use any Web search engine.

Once you start using it, you will realise how simple it is to use, working on various devices, or collaborating with others, on yours or others projects.

The whole folder is simple, and even overkill, but only covers that project. Be sure you go through all the general Unity preferences/settings also. If you have keystores for publishing a game on an app store, or other external tools, secure a copy of those as well.

You can back up the project folder (game name) and transfer it to the other comp, as long as you use the same version of Unity it was created with, with no prob at all. It will change nothing. If you want better control (option), follow what Antypodish is suggesting.

Thank you so much. :slight_smile:
