Install Cleanup/Backup

I am trying to backup my PC and don't want to have to re-patch after I redo my PC. Is there specific files I should backup, or an easy way to backup an install. Likewise, the main "Cryptic Studios" file is rather large (about 20gb) and I'm curious if that could be cleaned up (deleting old patch info or some-such),
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance.

    according to the devs the proper way to transfer STO to a new hard drive is to copy the /live/piggs and the /live/screenshots (optional) folder.

    then on the new drive do the intial install of the game so all the registery and directory permissions will be correct . then copy the/live/piggs and the /live/Screenshots to the new /live/piggs and screen shot folder.
    then your STO will be upto date as of the time of the backup copy.

    Thank You PegasusMD. I don't know what search terms I was using but I could not find any useful threads on this.
    I appreciate your help.
