for NobleArgon

#

thank you for helping me

leaden plinth
#

howdy

#

show me what your folder looks like?

hollow crystal
#

currently they look like that

#

i just put the backup_2 in there and pressed extract all

#

it made a new folder the one below and now theres the extraction loading

leaden plinth
#

I think you probably just need the contents of that folder to be in there

hollow crystal
#

...

#

so what do i do

leaden plinth
#

Assuming the contents of it are all your save files, like 2026-02-03-049-294

hollow crystal
#

do i just pick them one by one and put them in a new empty folder

leaden plinth
#

Just drag those folders up out of the backup folder and into that .../Saves/Sandbox one

#

Each of those folders is 1 save file, they need to be in that location for the game to "see" them

#

No new folder.

hollow crystal
#

so do i stop the extracting load or ?

leaden plinth
#

You can let it finish

#

And then just drag them one folder "up"

#

They just can't all be in backup_2 when you're done

hollow crystal
#

so i put all the content of the backup_2 in the servertest_player?

leaden plinth
#

Ya

#

Wait, servertest_player?

hollow crystal
#

yes

#

the one up

leaden plinth
#

Are these singleplayer saves?

hollow crystal
#

no

#

multiplayer

#

was that important...

leaden plinth
#

they just need to be in C:\Users\user\Zomboid\Saves\Multiplayer

hollow crystal
#

this is where they are

#

if im correct

#

i don't understand what you mean

leaden plinth
#

Yess, looks good.
You just need the contents of backup_2 to be in there (not in a new folder, and not in the larger backup folder)

icy fossil
#

whats the name of your save?

#

kop?

hollow crystal
#

yes the corrunpted one is kop

icy fossil
#

then move that kop file from there and put the old backup kop file in there instead...

hollow crystal
#

why do you guys have 2 diff versions

icy fossil
#

were saying the same thing

hollow crystal
#

idc if the world name is not kop

icy fossil
#

oh um the _player save is your player data

#

kop_player is all your characters

hollow crystal
#

ok ok

#

so i just put the content of 'backup_2' in kop and the kop content in backup 2

icy fossil
#

replace the whole kop folder... doesnt matter what you do with the corrupted one. prob just delete it

hollow crystal
#

its unzipped and now it looks like this

hollow crystal
#

in my backup 2 there is a kop folder

#

backup_2 / saves / multiplayer / kop

#

and in kop there is thi s

#

looks same like the old kop is that what i need to transfer

icy fossil
#

its easier to literally just click on the kop folder in your current Multiplayer folder and delete it...

then drag and drop the whole old kop folder from the "backup_2/Multiplayer" into your current "Multiplayer" folder

hollow crystal
#

so i delete this one and the replace it with the 'kop' one form my backup_2

icy fossil
hollow crystal
#

what do i do with those now

icy fossil
#

i would create a new folder on your desktop and just put them in there for now... call it your manual backup folder

hollow crystal
#

incase it fails

icy fossil
#

btw, if you dont care about your old saves you can just delete everything in that Multiplayer folder

hollow crystal
#

wich ones

#

bc yea idc about the old saves if that can clean up a bit it a good idea

icy fossil
#

everything in that folder is either a map or a character... you can safely delete everything in that Multiplayer folder

#

are you just trying to start a new save?

hollow crystal
#

you mean those ?

hollow crystal
hollow crystal
icy fossil
#

but yeah you dont need the rest of those saves you underlined...

hollow crystal
#

if i didnt had put that much time in 'kop' i would have just started a new one 😂

hollow crystal
icy fossil
#

top ones, the string of numbers, are characters from other servers... everything else is a local map/char you hosted at some point

hollow crystal
#

alrrr

#

looks like this now

#

i just turned dark mod on sorry for you guys eyes

#

just a quick question, when people say safe house, they mean base ?

icy fossil
hollow crystal
#

what does do

#

i play in a 2 player world

icy fossil

hollow crystal
icy fossil
#

oh btw... create a manual backup of your current save that you now know works lol

# hollow crystal how

well just copy that kop save into a new folder.
dont move it, just copy it.

create a new folder on your desktop and name it "B42.16 Backups" or something and put it in there...

or you could do the same with your new Backup_1 that was just created in your Backup/startup folder... this might be quicker considering the file size

#

close the game first though before doing that

hollow crystal
#

but the game does it for me so i could be chill?

icy fossil

yea, im too lame for 20
