I'm getting ready to try EQemu

[Regor Dragonfis]

I live in a house with 4 networked computers, could go as high as 12 if my friends bring machines over.

I'd like to host a server and run EQemu.

Is there any precautions I should take to not lose any of my EQlive data before starting to try and set up EQemu?

Will a standard backup of the directory work?

I can follow the install guide, I just didn't know what needed to be done as far as protecting your files.

I'm reading everything I can find on this. I know some of the information is changing, si the readme file being kept up to date?
