Now inside the backup folder you created, create sub folders for the servers you play on and copy their custom files into them. Now all you have to do is copy paste a couple files to switch servers. My god makeing 7 gig folders every time want to switch servers is madness.
There are more files than that potentially. Zone files, global load, etc.

The ones you mentioned are very common. But depending on the server, your approach will not work properly, or may mess up another server.

I guess you could find every file that anyone has ever customized, or that uses different eras (Nektulos, Toxx, Commonlands, Freeport, etc).

Probably you could id about 20 or so files, and make sure you have the right ones for each server.

But I'd rather just use the launcher.
