Before i go help someone code his car, i just want to make sure all i need to do is to backup the CAF folder and empty it?

You can do that if you want, but you don't have to.

I do so I can browse my settings offline, but that's the only reason I keep mine around.

When you read the ECUs on the other car, E-sys will just replace any existing .ncd files in the CAF directory. It's kind of like a temporary space to hold the .ncd files.

You will always be able to code vehicles with older software if you are running a later one so no worries.

There are some exceptions though as around 46.6 I think, they had some orphaned files. In that case, you just need to find the files and put them in your CAFD folder.
