There have been no significant changes since the version you tested for me. Thanks for your assistance with this! @Sean, the update has now been published on the config backup plugin page.

I'd never really looked into the actual preferences file itself. To me backing up my "config" includes all that other stuff too. Anyway, I appreciate what you've done so far and I'm look forward to more! That would be great. I’d never really looked into the actual preferences file itself.

I'll look into extending the preferences backup to contain the other settings as well. Preferences file was my priority because I've had occasional Lightroom triggered "blue screen of death"s killing my preferences file. Makes sense to pickup the rest at the same time though. Glad to hear it!

It compressed my 900 MB backup into 75 MB. And the preferences backup works great too. Now what about allowing it to backup the entire Lightroom folder (instead of just the Lightroom\Preferences folder) including all presets, scripts, templates, etc. It wouldn't add that much size to the backup files but it would be hugely useful!

That will do it. The plugin has a 32-bit executable hidden under the covers. I'll track down a 64-bit compatible version I can use and then re-release.
