    Exactly what it says. It cannot be backed up 😉.

    As steve_40​ says you don't have the space for back up. Here is a short video on how to clean it up and clear some space.

    There's a limit to the size of the files that can be backed up to the Quest Cloud. Some save games are simply too big and cannot be backed up ever.

    Hi C0UT0​ 🙂

    normally. cloud backup is set by default..... so if you haven't switched that off, your game should already have been saved in the cloud.

    Look here if you have save data for that game:

    Unless the save game is bigger than the maximum size allowed on the Quest Cloud, which happens for some games, or if the developer has not enabled cloud saves.

    But even if the latest save game's size is too big, there should be earlier save games, so you at least don't have to start from scratch, or am I wrong??🤪...... and of course, the game must support cloud backup😉

    C0UT0​  you are probaly able to back up your save game using sidequest or QGO to pc - if you have one.
