Why Backup Your Save File?

  • No More Stressful Starts: Losing a game save can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’ve poured countless hours into building your farm, befriending townsfolk, and achieving that one-of-a-kind farm layout.
  • Say Goodbye to Data Loss: Accidents happen, but backups ensure that you never have to start from scratch!

Backup Methods for Your Stardew Valley Game

Android makes backing up a breeze with some simple commands. We’ll walk you through the process using Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a handy tool for interacting with your device on your computer. Here’s how:

  1. Connect Your Device: Ensure your Android device is connected to your computer via USB debugging mode (check settings).
  2. Find the Files: Open your command prompt or terminal (you can find instructions online for your specific operating system) and navigate to the folder where you’ll be storing your saved files.
  3. Use ADB to Backup: This is where we get a little techy:
mkdir $HOME/Games/StardewValley/
cd $HOME/Games/StardewValley/
adb pull storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.chucklefish.stardewvalley/files/Saves

Explanation of the Command:

  • mkdir: Creates a new directory to store your Stardew Valley save files.
  • cd: Changes the directory to the newly created folder.
  • adb pull: Downloads the Stardew Valley save files from your device to your computer.
  • storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.chucklefish.stardewvalley/files/Saves: This is the specific path to where your Stardew Valley data resides on your device.
