No cloud backup: how to transfer saves?

n.a.m.e
Honored Guest

Hi there,

I have quite a lot of games that do not use cloud backup.

Now, I plan to buy the quest 3 in a couple of days. Prior to that I want to ensure I can transfer saves.

Especially the one from Garden of the Sea. My son spent countless hours building a cozy house and would be quite upset to loose it all.

 

I read something about sidequest but it seems to be like gambling...

Is there a 100% working of transferring all non-cloudbackup data to a new device?

 

On Android there's many phone switching app. Anything similar exist for the quest?

 

Thanks

Hello, I'm a devoted fan of the Elven Assassin game app, and as a user, I had the choice to opt for Meta Cloud backup or save my progress to device data stored in my headset. Some users prefer device data, but it comes with a downside – if you ever need to factory reset or reinstall the game due to issues, it will erase all your progress. Having played this game for over three years, I opted for safety by saving my progress data in two storage systems: Meta Cloud backup and my PC. Every week, I transfer the Elven Assassin file folder (containing my progress data) from my device to my PC since I play almost every day. If for some reason the data get corrupted from cloud data, I can still retrieve them from my PC.

To ensure additional safety, some of my colleagues use Side Quest as a backup system, but I prefer manual transfer. For those looking to transfer their progress from an old Quest to a new one, simply move the game's file folder from the old Quest to your PC and then to the new Quest. The Meta website provides a helpful guide on file transfers: https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/headsets-and-accessories/using-your-headset/transfer-files-... . If you encounter any issues, don't hesitate to contact Meta Support. Hope this information proves helpful! Cheers - Addy A.
