So, just started for the first time a few days ago, read a ton of guides and posts, did some searches and answered just about all my early questions and have hit a snag on a topic.
Saving/backups
I am wanting to do several things. Make a full backup on a storage drive that I can quickly grab if I decide to work on my current models later and I also want to test out training without warp for a few hours just to see how what I currently have comes out knowing I will almost certainly will need to go back to training with warp and will need to restore a backup pre no-warp. I am also wondering about coming back to the current model after I started doing another at a later time.
So, my questions I could not find answers to.
- I know the model training folder is the training data set which is a must to backup and use to restore, what about the snapshots?
- If I decide to come back to this model after doing another model, does the face photos used to train have to be placed into the exact folder tree structure?
Example. If the current model A is located in C:faceswap/work/model A, and then subfolders, does everything have to be placed exactly into that tree or does that not matter as long as I point the program to the new folders?
