Here is a way to make a backup of your tibia maps on your computer, if you have not fone the same using the online migration tool. You can also open the map from Windows Explorer or My Computer It is wise to make a back-up after you explored a big area or after some months to keep your back-up folder updated.
 * Click the start menu button and choose Run... The direct link to the folder that holds the maps is different on each OS.
 * E.g. Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Application Data\Tibia\Automap
 * E.g. Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Datos de programa\Tibia\Automap
 * E.g. Windows Vista: C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Tibia\Automap
 * When the folder Application Data or AppData is hidden you can unhide it by and clicking Tools --> Folder Options... checking View hidden files and folders on the second tab.
 * Now copy and paste contents of the Automap folder in a different place and use the date you made the copy as name for the new folder for easy remembrance.
