How to back up games (time sensitive)

Hello! My laptop needs to go for repairs (the screen has a crack making most of the left side black;;;) but I wanted to know what is the best way to back up an entire game library? Thank you for your time!

(EDIT: Nevermind, just found the FAQ... Whoops...)

What did you end up doing? I'm sure other people who find this topic will appreciate learning how you did it.

I went through my "itch" files (windows key + r, %appdata% being the only way I know how to access them) and backed up the games and demos on to my external hard drive and zipping them. Not sure if it will work but to be honest most of my library is free to play stuff/demos so it isn't a big deal if I have to redownload them.

Thanks, that should work. In the next version of the app you'll be able to backup just the downloaded files and the app can rediscover a directory with games in it if you have to do a reinstall.
