Thank you so much for this video...I am always learning something from you that i did not know how to do. You have made this gaming grandma so happy!!!
So I finally followed your vid and yeah, I have a save now. I've lost a few worlds to power outages (oddly my bases are there and whatever gear I've stored- all my skills gone, starting at level one), this should fix that, if i remember to backup- thanks, man!
Thanks for making all these tutorial vids, recently got my girlfriend to play with me and you have taught her so much and I’ve even picked up a couple things. Keep up the great work
Save time at the start, don't bother going to the options. Just go into the "address" bar in the folder window and just type: %AppData% And hit enter. It'll take you to that primary user app data folder regardless of it being hidden or shown :)
Just when i thought your videos couldnt get any more badass you topped it by solving my number 1 top problem which is dealing with save files. Do you know if these save files would work transferring these save files to another profile or computer?
Thank you. I have a creative world and everything is done but we want to download a mod so we can actually turn some of the nicer lights on and I would HATE to have the mod mess up and have to do it again
Would this also save other players stats and stuff? :P if i reset my pc completely, but backup this folder.. would other players profiles stay there with inventory/stats?
You should try all things rocket launcher, such as the demolitionist expert governing the crafted quality of the rocket launcher (and that you still need to find the schematic for the rocket launcher weapon itself). I’d like to see the blast radius of the various rockets as well.
Hi This is really helpful. I am using the mod Darkness Falls and I just can't find the save game for it. Can you help me so I can back up my save for Darkness Falls?
I recently got my pc back and been mostly playing on my MacBook laptop, and since I don't know how to transfer all of my stuff onto my pc could someone maybe give me a quick tutorial for this?
hey... now alpha 20.1 is out.. if i backed up my save and it breaks.. do i just paste over the broken files with the copy? or will it just break again and i should go back to the previous version of alpha 20?
did you make this video cause of the comment i asked you about im sure im not the only one whose commented about losing some of thier data but also i really wish i knew about this sooner T.T
Nonsense, did you yourself try reinstalling the windows or moving the saves to a different PC? Well surprise, your character will start from level 1 again, only the world actually saves. You should start teaching people how to create a folder with the power of their stupid minds, cause i see they thank you but they didn't yet taste the bitterness. hehe...
@@SavensWorld I only ask you this, move your data to another PC, and you will see that your character will be Level 1, which means you are playing for nothing, you won't be able to keep your Character's progress, only World Progress is saved.

I like how every video of yours helps me learn something new
That is awesome to hear! Exactly why I do this 😊
Thanks Saven, love the clarity of your tutorials.
You're welcome! Happy to help 😊
ooohhh! this is exactly what i needed. I was searching for a way to do it in my comp cause all the other sources were from years back.
Happy to be of service!

You're welcome! Backing up those game saves is extremely important! Especially with a game in alpha.

That is the best compliment! Means I'm accomplishing the mission of this channel. Thank you!
I just lost my main game in these winter blackouts. I really needed to know this Ty.
Happy to help. Stay safe.
Thank you for making this video unfortunately it came one day too late. I just got a solid state drive and had to start my game over yesterday.
I'm sorry to hear that. On the bright side, you get to one of my favorite parts of 7 Days again. The first 7 Days is my favorite.
Thanks man, very concise and to the point! I should've come across this video a few weeks ago, would've saved me some headaches.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful!

I'm not sure but you would need to transfer the world save as well
Well done. Very Simple. Will really help newbies and folks not use to Windows system level backups! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Thanks, Saven. Maybe now I'll be brave enough to try some modding.
Very helpful! Thanks!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!! :) Very easy to follow tutorial!
You're welcome!
Quick and painless, very nice Saven.
Thanks! I tried to keep it short and sweet.
My question is, once you make the copy can you share the world with someone else or is it “locked” to you specifically?

You help me a lot!
That is awesome to hear! Thank you! Happy to help 😊
Great! I didn't know where the saves were.
Happy to help!
Thank you.👍
Thank you!
You're welcome!
this saved me from the character level reset bug when the game crashes 👍
Happy to help!

You da man!!! Thanks!

I do have a couple of videos covering explosive weapons coming soon
Hi This is really helpful. I am using the mod Darkness Falls and I just can't find the save game for it. Can you help me so I can back up my save for Darkness Falls?
It depends on how you have the game installed. I would recommend joining the discord server (link is in the description) and pose your question there.
@@SavensWorld Tks for your help. I just found it.

I have received quite a few requests for this video, yours included. I try to create requested videos for the community whenever I can.
@@SavensWorld well thanks a bunch for all your hard work youre a real one for sure
@@rapmaster1990 Thanks!
Does this also apply to dedicated servers?
Cool. I make a compressed zip folder in the the same folder and upload a copy of the zip to google drive.
That is an awesome way to backup your saves! Excellent tip!
I think it's easier if you just press Windows + R and type %appdata%.
Do the saves work in a new alpha (A20)?
Won't know for sure until A20 comes out but usually no. Normally you have to restart when a new alpha comes out.
@@SavensWorld that's what I figured unfortunately
That info came to late for me, 50 hours destroyed, however that is possible in a modern game
At least next time i am prepared :)
Man, i tried this and it didn't work.
instead of all that wasted time at the beginning you can literately just type %appdata%
noob

I use this backup method almost daily. It works if you follow the instructions.
