Tips:
As with any game it is most important to have a game that runs smooth. In most games and surtainly rfactor the lighter the game is, the better.
In other words, when doing a fresh install and having your backups ready, keep in mind that although the location-folder could be pasted into a new rfactor installation you probably will not use most of the tracks in that folder but it will clutter rfactor right away.
Backing up other folders (like vehicles or Gamedata) is not recommended (to be used for a fresh install) as you would most likely be backing up only parts of mods.
As far as smooth games go, some people go as far as to have 2 installments of rfactor in different Partitions or HDD's. One ripped install with a minimum of files (mostly used for league racing) and one installment to try out new stuff with. (new mods, tweaks,tracks,etc)
But be aware that multiple installs of rFactor could effect the game performance and/or the way rFactor deals with data distribution so best not have 2 games on one HDD.
