How to get back my daz3d installation packages for backup without reinstalling everything?

I accidentally had the "delete package once installed" option selected, and now all my package files are gone after the installation. I want to keep these packages as a means of backup if things go wrong or when I want to move stuff to a new computer. Could you please advise on how I might download the default package files (Daz Studio 4.24/default resources for Daz Studio/PostgreSQL CMS, etc.) again without needing to reinstall everything and potentially messing things up?
Much appreciated.

In Advanced Settings (click the gear icon at top-right) in the Instalaltion tab just make a note of the current Manifest Archive folder, then change it to point to an empty folder. That will make DIM show everything as uninstalled. Then in the Ready To Download tab uncheck Install After Download, then download everything. Finally go back to Advanced Settings>Installation and set the Manifest Archive back to its original location, so DIM again knows what was installed.
Thank you. I'll try it right away.
