Hi all!

In a couple days I'll be moving my account to a new computer, which means that I will also start afresh with the latest version of iStripper. So far, so good, but my problem is that I don't know what will happen with some of my cards which are no longer available in store...

More precisely, I have the two Dianna & Kristina cards (BFF's and Sweet & Sexy, #0807/#0808) I really like and don't want to lose. From what I remember, discontinued shows can no longer be obtained once you delete them or when you need to re-download them. However, I do remember some users talking about backups a couple times but I can't find the relevant discussion threads mentioning the details of how exactly to save my cards and port them to a new system.

If anyone knows a tutorial of some sorts and could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

@Voluntas .. backup is simple .. and manual
MAKE SURE your new setup is fully working before considering deleting anything from the old computer.

Install iStripper on your new computer using your current Pseudo and Password. If you change to a new username/Pseudo, you will not have access to your current library on this installation.
but... as long as you can login on your old computer, it will all still be available there.

quit iStripper
if you have a backup usb drive (easiest option), simply copy any/all files you want to keep, from the old computer to that backup device and then copy the files to the new computer. (you can get a 1Tb drive for $50 - $60). It's good practice to keep a backup in case you lose your HDD/SSD.

the files are stored in ... C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\vghd\models

if you don't want the backup usb, you could transfer files via your LAN.

@Voluntas
In addition to the @muttonjeff 's post, you can copy the Data folder too in order to have the same configuration you had on your old PC. When you will start from the new PC, the software will launch in the same way than on the old PC.

Wow thanks a lot guys!! That's some really helpful info. Ok, so it's not as complicated as I previously thought..

Now I only need to check and double check my cards and see which ones have been pulled from the store shelves, make a backup and then move everything to the new rig.

Btw, good idea muttonjeff regarding an extra safety drive! That's an option I should definitely consider. Better to have a secure stash to fall back on in case something goes wrong, LOL. 😉

Hello, my PC runs under Win11. But I can't find the folder vghd/models. The path, you have written above, is not to find on my PC. Is there another path under Win11?

AppData may be a hidden folder. Select "Show Hidden items" in your explorer settings.

BTW you can check the path in your iStripper settings. Mark "Advanced Settings" on the top left of the settings page and scroll to the "Data" section.

I have a link pinned on my taskbar.
right click on the iStripper icon, and select Properties.
Now click on Open File Location

With no taskbar link, click the Start menu, right click the IStripper link and click Open File Location
this will open the 'links' folder.
right click on the iStripper link, and select Properties.
Now click on Open File Location


these will open the /bin folder. from there you can navigate up one level to the /vghd folder to see the /data and /models folders. I am on Windows 11 and it works for me.

From in the iStripper App
click the drop down Menu near the top right next to your user name
then click on FullScreen to open the FullScreen page
Near the top left is a Folder Icon
Click on the single Folder Icon

That will Open an Explorer Window to the Scenes Folder
From the you can Navigate to the Parent Data folders
From the Data folder you can Navigate to it's Parent VGHD Folder

and Finally from the VGHD Folder you can Navigate to the subFolder Models Folder

Hello, good morning and thank you. With your tips I've found the data.👍😄
