GE and VOZ Texture Backups

Just placed a post querying VOZ and GE on another thread and thought that
you could do the following if your VOZ backup is pre-GE.

1. Install textures for GE (this will be backed up within GE folder if run
for first time and should be default textures, i.e. UNVOZed)
2. Install VOZ textures for one region at a time using VOZ installer.
3. Create a new backup texture set within GE installer and name it the same
as the region you VOZed
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for remaining sets
5. If you wish to fly in Australia and use VOZ textures just load the region
using the GE installer rather than VOZ's and UNVOZ by loading the GE texture
sets on the GE installer too.

The only problem with this is you will have quite a few texture folder
backups which may take up 1GB of space, but if you have the same problem as
me and cant get VOZ to recreate a new post-GE backup of texture folder even
if uninstalling and reinstalling VOZ - dont know if this problem is caused
by my FS installation not being on my boot disk.

All these texture add-ons are getting rather confusing with each one
creating its own backup folder.
Reinstalling one is going to screw up some other package somewhere
