So I recently had a steam update for a minor update, nothing to raise concern for worrying about backing up files or whatnot, but I am lost on the part on what your supposed to do incase and update does happen, I've heard you can lose files and since new versions can replace old mods and plugin versions, etc. Thanks. (just looking for some tips to make sure my files and mods are safe and will work incase of an update.)

if updates do happen to come up such as lspdfr updates or gta updates. Its recommended to backup files so it saves you time from reinstalling stuff. For lspdfr, its recommend to just keep a backup of your lspdfr folder so no key binds or changes you made inside will be lost. For gta, the only thing is that when mods folder needs update, it updates the update.rpf's, so any files in those update.rpf's you have to back them up one by one or else they will get replaced. 

Cool, Thanks.
