The sooner you enable backups (and keep your Switch online membership running), the quicker you’ll have peace of mind that your Marina, Raymond, and Zucker haven isn’t lost to the void the next time Nintendo decides to wipe your system to fix a simple case of Joy-Con drift.īut that’s about it - the feature is here to help in case of a save file that’s lost through no fault of your own. Things to considerĪll in all, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons backup feature is here to give peace of mind in case your console is lost or needs to go in for repair. We assume, at least - we’re not going to test that. Nook explains that the backup process exists in case your console is damaged or lost - so, either when it’s sent in for repair (in which case Nintendo usually wipes all data) or if you replace it with a new, clean console.Īssuming there’s no Animal Crossing save data on the console when you fire up the game and the user account used had backups enabled, you should see an option to restore from a backup through the same settings menu you access by pressing the Minus Sign on the start screen. There’s no option to restore from an island backup so long as there’s an Animal Crossing save on your Nintendo Switch. Here’s the tricky thing: Just because you now have a version of your Animal Crossing island backed up to the cloud, that doesn’t mean you can use it to revert any tiny little mistake or event that might have ruined your grand ambition. So, make sure whichever account is backing up the island will be around to restore it when needed. The data will also only be backed up and registered to the Switch user profile that initiates the backup process.
You do need an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription for this to work. Backups happen periodically, which isn’t very reassuring, but Nook says it can happen even when your machine is in sleep mode, so expect it to happen whenever you’re not actively playing your Switch. Once you enable island backups, your save data will be backed up automatically whenever you’re not playing the game. He has a bit of a long-winded explanation of it all, but it’s quite simple in practice.
Listen to Tom Nook go on about what he can do, and you’ll eventually be able to choose the island backup feature from his list. Rather than hitting A to enter the game, you’re going to want to hit the Minus Sign button to enter the settings screen. Just sit on the game’s start screen long enough to see the button prompts appear on the bottom of the screen.

If it’s not version 1.4.0 and your Nintendo Switch isn’t automatically downloading updates, you can force the download by going back to your console’s home screen, pressing the Plus Sign on the Animal Crossing: New Horizons icon, moving one space down to the Software Update tab, and hitting Via the Internet.
