Don’t just trust the cloud – link your save data

It is always good to copy your data in multiple places, and save data from video games is not an exception.

Most gaming and platform keyboards offer cloud services at the present time. Memory cards or the console storage and hundreds of hours losing the data!

Well, in theory. The fact is that many of the processes of saving this control unit are locked behind the subscriptions, and even if it is not, you need to trust that the company does not disappear suddenly and you have no time to support this data.

You still have actual save files on your computer and key tools, but why do you stop at one backup? With many backup copies, you will keep your data safe and sound, regardless of the way it ends.

Cold storage is perfect

The best way to support your saved data is the lack of factors in a cloud service at all and storing it on the hard drive. You generally do not need a solid condition for cold storage, and external hard drives are relatively cheap and provide a lot of storage.

The best Western Digital writing line of hard drives. You can get up to 44 TB of storage (although this will be likely to be exaggerated for most). With the amount of storage you get, you can backup more than just save the data – you can copy the entire games!

Its reserves on other cloud storage service

What is better than using one cloud service to support your save data? Using two, especially if the second is a more general cloud storage service that is not connected to any specific application. I was already using IDrive to support important files, and I already had a set of space that left, so why not add all my game data to backup?

The use of a cloud storage service in this way can facilitate data collection even if it is spread through various systems. I can make a reserve for anything that ends on my computer (from Steam and EGS to the console you transferred), then wrap and backup to create Android and iPad in the same place.

Of course, the largest advantage of service like IDrive is the ability to backbiting Everything Enjoy easily access, even via multiple devices. So, this is not something to be registered if your only purpose is to support your game data – although if you support it, why don’t you support everything while you are in it?

Finding the saving data may be difficult

Taking into consideration, depending on where you are withdrawing save data, it may be difficult to find what you need to support. For example, with Steam, you will need to move to “Steamaps”, then the “common” folder to find all the games you installed, then go to the folder of each game and withdraw save files from there – although it may be better to only copy the folders until you know which files are transferred to any game.

Others, like PS5, make it It is easy to copy your save data. For this Sony, you can do this by moving to the settings menu and selecting “System”, then “System Program”. There, you can backup and recover the PS5 data that you saved.

Unfortunately, there are a few systems in which you can not withdraw the consoles’ console data at all, and the most famous is the Nintendo key. Less than adjusting the console to allow you to obtain save data, you should hope that Nintendo does not lose data in one way or another.

Screen footage and clips also

While you are in it, not only support your save data – set up screen clips and videos too! You may not think about it now, but screenshots and clips are great memories of your time with the game, whether it is one player or a multi -player address. Since the 3000 screen folders I have taken over the years you can attest to, the images you take can be more emotional and valuable for your actual save data. Just make sure you can find it!
