BuildBackup was created to back up CASC data from Blizzard's CDN. Blizzard often removes data for older builds from their CDN, making them unavailable for install. The goal is to have it back up all data needed to install a specific version for a specific application.
Data is currently backed up to this archive. For more information on the archive or if you want to download large amounts of data from it, please contact me at marlamin@marlamin.com.
In addition to the backup functionality there are also several utilities implemented to dump information/extract data from the CASC filesystem.
Basic data for all product codes is supported (when available on CDN), but BuildBackup currently supports full data backups for the following applications:
- World of Warcraft (wow, wowt, wow_beta)
- Overwatch (pro, prot, proc, not prodev)
You will have to set the path where files should be saved manually in Program.cs. By default it is H:/ on Windows machines and /var/www/bnet.marlam.in/ for all other operating systems. This will be moved to a configuration file in the future.
