copying xbox one data on external drive to xbox one S external drive

When copying games, it doesn't seem to allow a copy of our saved data?

How do we copy our saved gameplay (reserved as well?) data to an external drive?

Thanks, Walts

copying xbox one data on external drive to xbox one S external drive

Now that I have Xbox One S and added a external drive, is there a way to copy data from the old Xbox One external drive to the new one ?

 

Potential Issue Regarding External Hard Drive Support?

When Microsoft announced the Xbox One would have external hard drive support, I bought a Seagate 1TB USB 3.0 external drive. It worked fine for a couple of months, but one day I turned the Xbox One on and it was as if there was no external drive plugged
in at all. I tried just about every method that didn't involve losing all the data on the external drive, but nothing was successful. The Xbox One just didn't see that the external drive was plugged in. As a last resort, I plugged the external drive into my
computer and reformatted it, then plugged the external drive back into the Xbox One. Voila, problem solved. The Xbox One instantly recognized the blank external drive and suggested setting it up for the Xbox One. Unfortunately I have to re-install all my games
now, but at least I still have an external drive. I was never able to figure out whether the issue was on the Xbox One side or the Seagate external drive side.

 

Hello Joe Gans,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The saved data for each game is upload to the

Xbox cloud through your account when the account is connected to Xbox Live. Therefore, you account will collect the saved data once it is logged into Xbox Live on a different console. We hope this helps!

 

Thanks XBF LG, but I already know that.

I'm looking to make a backup of that saved data as well.

Is it possible to also have a backup/saved copy on my external drive?

Hey Joe,

Thank you for keeping us updated. Unfortunately, there is no way to backup your Xbox one save files aside from the cloud service that is set up automatically with Xbox live.

If you would like to push this as an idea to hopefully get implemented in a later update, please post this on our
Xbox Ideas website. Although we can’t guarantee any specific ideas will be implemented, we’ll ensure that your ideas and comments are a key influence on future innovations.

Thank you!

 

The data is backed up in the cloud. This will allow you to access the data from other consoles when connected to Live.
