How can I backup my custom categories between installs?

I have modified my menu for quick retrieval by creating some custom categories and categorizing apps Ive downloaded underneath them, like so: https://imgur.com/a/k2Anhbu

When I did the backup and retrieved my portableapps on a new PC build the custom categories were not there. Can someone tell me how I can maintain my custom menu and also the categorization I give to each app?

Full Backup or Copy, or manual PortableAppsMenu.ini file copy

If you do a full drive backup or copy your whole PortableApps and Documents folder from one location to another, the categories will be included. You can also manually copy the PortableAppsMenu.ini file from PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data in one location to the same directory in another. That's where the custom categories and your platform settings are saved.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
