Preserve author images when changing plugins

Hello! I love Starbox, but I have a question. In the past, I was testing out a different author box plugin, but when I tried to switch, I noticed all of my author profile photos disappeared! I add their photos through Starbox, but then it also shows up in the user profile where you would upload a user profile without Starbox. So if anything would ever happen to the plugin or I couldn’t use it, is there anyway around losing all 1,560 author profile images? Of course I still have them on the computer, but don’t recall who is who anymore. I use an aggregator plugin to pull in rss feeds and the authors are imported automatically. I then go and complete the profile information and add their avatar.
I’m asking because I’ve noticed pup issues from time to time coming from the plugin so I want to be sure my site could function without it if necessary. Thanks!
