Does the EA App have an option to backup the installation files?

Hello EA Team,

I was just wondering, if there is an option to restore an installed game, especially when I have to reinstall the computer and have to start from scratch. Downloading the game from the beginning is quite inefficient.. Is there an option like in Steams to backup the installation files.

Kind regards

Victor Santiago

    @Pande There is not within the app at this time. The closest way would be to copy over the install folder with the game onto a portable drive and then copy it into the same location on the drive you want. However, there is no guarantee that will work this way but has for some players I've seen do this. As for within the app, there is no setting like this no.
