Illarion\*Charname*\names.tbl

there are your #i's. Just copy the file (or the content) into your new char's directory.

That is why I stress the importance of either a good CD or DVD burner and a large supply of CD-Rs or DVD-Rs, or a USB stick with a large amount of space. Also, MP3 players can somehow double as backup units that can't transport to certain computers (I know from experience between me and my computer guru friend.)

what is a HDD?

High definition dvd? Then explain what that has to do with Illarion pl0x.

HDD
hard disk drive

and as this is NOT the RPG board i am allowed to discuss that here, there is no proscription against out of character conversations here

unles the rules have been changed since i last logged in

No, no.. calm down.

I was asking why you were using a HD dvd for your illarion files.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I always zip and email my character profiles to myself, this way they are stored on the email hosts' hard drive and can be downloaded at whim.

And I back up my data and never wipe my hard disc unless I get something really nasty or need to downgrade operating systems.

I have a backup hard drive.

I carve every important data in stone blocks.

--honestly, USB sticks or secondary hard drives work fine.
