Where are the vault files located?

[ororor]

I zipped all my save file (from my documents) before formating c: drive but after installing again the game I lost all my vault of all chars+shared space...:cry:
I don't want it to happen again...so can anyone tell me where are the vault files so I will be able to backup them, they obviously not with the save files.:pray:
Thanks.

You were supposed to move all the items from the vault to your characters (making new characters as necessary) before you reinstalled.

Also there's a "TQVault" folder there in the My Documents\My Games\Titan Quest folder somewhere, you don't need to back it up.

When reinstalling you're just uninstalling the stuff in the program files\thq\titan quest folder and then deleting the folder before reinstalling. The My Documents folder should be untouched.
