Back Up Save Data Vs Download ((NEW)) Save Data Switch

Second: Go to HOME > System Settings > Data Management > Save Data Cloud > and select your user. You should see a page with three options in the left pane and a list of your games Save Datas on the right, the one you want to recover should state that it is waiting to back it up. This only happens when you have the game running after you shut it off it overwrites the save data, that's why step one is important. On the left hand side, select Settings and set the setting 'Automatic Save-Data Backup' to off. This will secure your old data from the last time you turned the game off.

P.s. I looked at this question here How can I transfer my games from the system memory to my micro SD card? to try and answer this question... But it is different because it is only interested in copying game data... Not "save data" files.

Back Up Save Data Vs Download Save Data Switch

Once you've ponied up the dough, your Switch will automatically back up your save data to Nintendo's cloud servers. This way, if your Switch meets an untimely demise, like mine did, you won't lose anything except $100-ish and a few weeks of time with your console. You can't tweak auto-backup options in an individual game's software menu, but just signing up for the service and leaving your Switch online for an hour or two should be sufficient.

Even if you have no interest in this service, you may want to sign up for a free seven-day trial, if only to back up your save data once. It's an awful lot better than losing absolutely everything, particularly if you've already finished a number of Switch titles and want to archive your save data.

I would like to reiterate that this is the only way to back up your Switch save data. Unlike with the PS4, you cannot put your data on a thumb drive. Unlike with the Xbox One, your data will not sync with the cloud automatically. And even though the Switch has a microSD card port, you can't transfer any save data to it. To my knowledge, Nintendo has no plans to implement new save-backup features anytime soon. To further complicate matters, not every Switch game offers this functionality, meaning you can't back up those saves by any means.

Unfortunately, if you've tracked down this page, it's highly likely that your Switch is already on the fritz and you're freaking out about how to preserve your save data. First off, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you are right to freak out. The odds of getting your system back with its save data intact are not very good, and the sooner you make peace with that, the less devastated you'll be when it happens.

However, that doesn't mean your case is absolutely hopeless. Remember: If you can get your Switch to turn on at all, you can simply sign up for a Switch Online free trial and back up your data. This won't take long, so maximize whatever battery life you have left, if charging is an issue. In fact, Nintendo may even be willing to give you a little complimentary Switch Online time to facilitate the process; the first rep to whom I spoke offered this to me.

If your Switch won't turn on and won't charge, then your situation is much tougher, as mine was. I attempted to swap out my battery with another, fully charged Switch battery, which would have bought me enough time to back up my save files online. If you have a little mechanical know-how and a good friend with a Switch that they're willing to let you disassemble, you may want to give a battery swap a shot. Furthermore, while Nintendo's official repair service won't do this for you (as I learned the hard way), a local game-repair shop might. It may be worth calling around and asking.

Remember: Once you send the Switch off to Nintendo, you have absolutely no control over how the company handles the repair. So it behooves you to try every other alternative before you commit your hardware to the Big N. If they get their hands on it, your save data is probably not coming back.

About a week later, I got an email that United Radio had received my system and wiped my save files, and would be sending me a refurbished unit. No one ever called me; as far as I can tell, no one even read my letter. I would not be surprised if United Radio received my Switch, tossed it in a "spare parts" pile somewhere and shipped me back a refurbished unit right away rather than attempt repairs.

Needless to say, when I received the Switch in the mail, my screen protector was long gone and there was no replacement. (However, I did get a repair slip that contradicted the email and claimed that all of my save files were intact. They were not, twisting the knife just a little deeper.)

I called Nintendo as soon as I received the package and asked an employee why this had happened. He said he didn't know but that he would bump me up to a manager. He also said that while the manager wouldn't be able to restore my save files, he was sure the manager would offer me some kind of compensation in order to make things right.

When I spoke with the manager, she confirmed my suspicion: The repair crew generally does not read any letters addressed to them, beyond confirming that the serial numbers match. Had I explicitly stated to not wipe my save data under any circumstances, it's possible that United Radio would have sent back my unrepaired Switch; otherwise, the volume of repairs is simply too high to accommodate individual requests. However, the manager did say that she would send me a follow-up email so that I could explain my complaint in greater detail.

To be clear, my experience isn't an indictment of Nintendo as a game developer or as a company. This article is not meant to suggest that other game manufacturers handle repairs better. It's just to point out that if your system breaks, it's already too late to protect your save data. You have very little control over the repair process, which is doubly frustrating, because you have very little control over whether your Switch will malfunction, regardless of how well you care for it.

So, I bought a switch. I had it for 2 years. it broke and wouldn't charge. I fixed it like 6 months later. I had it for 2 months. It broke with the same issue. I don't want to pay $150 AUD and wait 3 months for it to get fixed and shipped back here again.

I'm completely fine with buying a new switch, I would much prefer paying $399 once than $150 every 10 weeks. The only problem is, I have a lot of games that I've sunk hundreds of hours into, like ACNH or SMO, and I don't want to lose all my save data for those games. I have NSO, and I'll have it for the next ~10 months. While my switch was still fixed, did I have to manually go through the settings/profile to back up my save data, or was it automatically backed up? if it is, then how do I transfer that to a new switch? all of my games are physical, except for a few free demos and cuphead, though I don't really care about those. Someone please help because I couldn't find anything else that helped my situation :v

"Island backup is a feature exclusive to Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you are looking to restore your save data for games compatible with the Nintendo Switch Online Save Data Cloud service, see our steps on How to Download Save Data Cloud Backups.

Recovery is only available in situations where a Nintendo Switch system is lost, stolen, or damaged. A new or repaired Nintendo Switch system is required. An active Nintendo Switch Online membership is also required. In the event of loss or damage, contact Nintendo Consumer Support, and a representative can help you restore the island and user save data on your new or repaired Nintendo Switch system (standard charges apply for non-warranty repairs).

If you have access to your original Nintendo Switch system and you want to transfer your island or an individual resident to a new system, you can transfer your Animal Crossing: New Horizons save data"

@LordOfOwO You can do a data transfer from one switch to another. But you have to initiate the transfer from switch settings/menu. So, if you can't do that, I'm not sure you can transfer game save data (obviously, if you had a Switch Online subscription, you can access game save data that way too.)

Can only be done with both units present and on adapter power to transfer saved data. There is no other way. So you have to purchased the second Switch and have both at hand to do saved data transfer. Not sure about online saving but that requires a NSO account to do that. So you should really contact NIN support for help on this to get the correct help in your situation.

You can back up content, data, and settings from your phone to your Google Account. You can restore your backed up information to the original phone or to some other Android phones. You can't use back up when you set up a personal device with a work profile or for work only, or when you set up a company-owned device.

Backups are uploaded to Google servers and they're encrypted with your Google Account password. For some data, your phone's screen lock PIN, pattern, or password is also used to encrypt your data so it can be backed up safely. 006ab0faaa
