How to backup my games

Hi ,

When i purchase c&c the ultimate collection , origin has downloaded the game to some path like program files/origin games/comand and ....

If i for any reason formatted my machine , will i be forced to download the whole game again ?

Is there a way to backup the games ?

Thanks

I think you'd have to download the game again. You could try a simple copy-paste, but I doubt it would work. It's a possibility because of how Origin authenticates it so it's worth a shot. The main way to back up the games is by saving the game installers pre-download as shown here.
