Back up your local data

Find your save folder, make an independent copy, and understand the restore path for current profiles.

Historical 0.4.2 alpha recovery reminder in a synthetic profile.
Historical 0.4.2 alpha screen: current profiles are keyless; this old recovery reminder does not apply to new profiles.

Steps

Follow in order.

  1. 1

    Open Settings → Data & recovery to find the active save folder; current profiles do not use a recovery key.

  2. 2

    Close the app before copying the entire User Data folder to an independent backup location.

  3. 3

    To restore, choose a validated independent folder copy in Data & recovery, then close and restart the app after success.

  4. 4

    Protect the backup as local plaintext under your OS account. Older encrypted profiles have a separate legacy recovery path.
