1. Checking my Spooky2 folder in the C:/ drive, it has 682MB on disk and this includes about a year of software updates in .zip formatted files. Most compact discs have ~700MB's and DVDs have ~4.5GBs so either disc could be a backup option. Thumb drives would be fine as well, most common to find 8GBs in stores these days which is a lot more than you would need. A 1GB thumb drive would do the trick if you have one that small. If you open windows file explorer, right click on the C:/Spooky2 folder and select properties, the properties dialogue box will reveal the amount of data in your folder to be certain.
2. I made a Spooky presets folder in My Documents folder and store them there. In my opinion there is no need to back up the entire Spooky2 folder in C;\Program Files\Spooky2. If I install a new version of Spooky2 software I just create another folder C;\Program Files\Spooky2-1 and install the new version there and then create a new shortcut to point to the new Spooky.exe file. So if I have a problem with the new version of Spooky2 software I can simply use the old Spooky2 shortcut on the desktop.
When I backup My Documents folder I have everything covered.
