Backup Up and Restoring Data
It's pretty easy to backup and restore run data, but here's a basic overview:

Backing Up
Effectively all that needs to be done is to archive (copy, zip, whatever) all the files in the user data folders. The folder will vary based on your OS.

Windows
\Documents\My Games\Duskers

Mac
Users/<yourusername>/Library/Application Support/unity.Misfits Attic,Duskers

Linux
Home/.config/unity3d/Misfits Attic/Duskers


Simply make a copy (or archive) of those file to backup the game. This will save your progress and settings. Note that copying the entire folder and sub-folders will also includes extra files (such as images) that are large and GENERALLY unneded in backups. Normally this is not a problem, but can make an archive really large for sending through email.


Restoring
To restore your files, simply overwrite all files in the main data folder with the files in you previously backed-up.


Sending Your Data for Review
Occasionally we may ask for you to email your data to help us debug an issue you have reported. You can back-up (and send) the data as described above. However, for a much smaller zip/archive of the files, here are just the specific files/folders that we need:

All loose files in the main directory
All files and folders in the \data\udata\ directory
No other files or folders are needed

Your final ZIP size should be less than 100k and, in most cases, less than 50k.
