SavedVariableFile - arkayenro/arkinventory GitHub Wiki

The SavedVariable file for ArkInventory contains all your configuration. It is normally located at ...\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\yourwowaccount\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua

Once your configuration is setup you wont really change it that much so please ensure you take a backup of that file after you make any changes to the configuration. In general its a good idea to take regular backups of that whole ..\World of Warcraft\WTF folder anyway so youve got a backup of all the settings for all your mods.

note: Always make sure the game is not running before taking backups

Your game client will create a backup of ArkInventory.lua as ArkInventory.lua.bak itself every now and then (im not sure what the trigger is) so if yours gets corrupted or goes missing and you have no backups of your own then you should try renaming that file back to ArkInventory.lua to see if that works (rename the current file to ArkInventory.old first).

If it all fails then theres not much you can do but start again from scratch - so please take backups.
