As we know the patches to solve loosing ranks in COD4 while playing and joining modded servers will still let you loose your rank.
This can be solved with making a safecopy of your mpdata file in Path...\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles

However you can do this a bit more pro with making a batch file in notepad, this will let you backup the profile folder with click of a button. Instructions as follows.
NB! Not for Vista users.
And keep in mind I used Goggle to find a set of the right script suited to get this one working, I am not an experienced batch scripter.

Making the batch COD4 Profile backup:
1. Make a folder where you want the safecopy of your profile folders. Lets say in My Documents and name it: COD 4 backup
2. Open notepad (Not wordpad or Word, NOTEPAD) Copy and paste in the code on the code window below. Then copy the string from your safecopy folder and replace the Code #1

Code #1
C:\Documents and Settings\Gamer\Mine dokumenter\COD 4 backup
3. Then go to your Path...\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles and do the same with Code #2

Code #2
C:\Programfiler\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles
4. Then save the notepad file and set the extension to.bat, example: COD 4 Profile Backup.bat
My code:

Code #3
@echo off
:: variables
set drive=C:\Documents and Settings\Gamer\Mine dokumenter\COD 4 backup
set backupcmd=xcopy /E /I /Y /D
echo ### Backing up COD4 "profile" folders...
%backupcmd% "C:\Programfiler\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles" "%drive%\%folder%"
echo Back up COD4 "profile" folders done...
@pause

Good luck :)

PS: Made a small program who make this batch file for you: CoD4 Profile Batch Generator

Use on your own risk, but totally free for key-grabbers, worms, spyware etc.

I just take my player folder and upload it to my external hard drive on my network. I would think backing it up off your computer would be the safest method in case of hard drive failure...ftp...memory stick...dvd...something like that, I would think.

Gotcha, "safe copy" which you should backup to something. I just didn't see externally saved spelled out.

I find this utility to be much easier. :P

This program allows you to easily backup your Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare multiplayer profile. The program's created with Visual basic 2005, so it requires the .Net Framework 2.0.

COD4 Profile Backup


Enjoy!

There are many ways on doing this, mine is one way, and "what you see is what you get". What I mean this way is a safe way doing it regarding key-grabbers, worms etc. unknown .exe files isn't :)

I've made a bat file using winrar command-line tool found at rarlab.com (RAR 3.71 for MS DOS <info>) It will back up your players folder & compress it, then save it to your desktop

create a file
backup.lst

paste this in it
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players" //backup profile

Then create the .bat file which I named "cod4 backup tool.bat"
@echo off
cd C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop
del players.rar
cd C:\winrar
rar32 a players @backup.lst
move players.rar "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop"
pause


just rename <user> with your windows account username for the desktop paths..

And this line here "cd C:\winrar" should be replaced with where you install the command line version of winrar.. And of course, place both those files you just made into the winrar folder (.lst & .bat).. then create a shortcut to the .bat file on your desktop

You are done.. run the shortcut you made and you will see a file named players.rar on your desktop


**edit**

Oh yeah, after you run the bat file, And if you don't want the program to pause when you are done., You just want the dos prompt to close by its self

in the .bat file, replace "pause" with "end"

And.. What does a batch file do?
Batch files are what they are, batches of commands done by the click of a button.
I don't think you know what you have replied to really...

I was replying to FcUK_A in my second post.. And you might notice in my first post to this thread I posted a .Bat file..

So yes, I know what a batch file is and what it does.. Which is why I said it's an one button solution. Meaning it's easier with a batch file than going to the directory, zipping the files than moving them to a USB drive...

I'm guessing you didn't read my first post and thought I was talking to you....
