How to backup Xbox one on USB?

[quote user="DREAD SHOCK"]Has anyone else had this problem and corrected it? I try to backup my saved game data to a USB and it says something like "this data cannot be copied to another system".

Here's a short guide on how to backup your data to the cloud.

HOW TO BACK UP YOUR DATA:

I have made a tutorial video showing exactly how to make a backup of your player data and campaign saves files. The video shows how to do a backup using the cloud, however the exact same method can be used to make a USB or memory card backup. If you have access
to a USB or memory card then feel free to use one instead of, or as well as the cloud. You can never have too many backups!
PLEASE read the following information before watching the video.

1. Once you have followed the instructions in the video to make your backup files, do not continue playing from your backup drive. This is because player data files become corrupted while you are USING them. So if you
continue to play after making your backup, your backup files could become corrupted without you knowing. Then when you need them to recover your rank they won't work, and your data will be lost. This has already happened to a couple of people, so you should
only use your backup drive when you are updating your backup or recovering your rank. The key is to use the backup file as little as possible to prevent any data loss.

2. If you would like to use a USB as your backup drive, you can use any USB drive to backup your data but it will need to be formatted first for use with the Xbox. Formatting will wipe anything that is currently stored
on the USB. I have also been told that some older USB drives are unable to be formatted and are therefore incompatible. To format your USB drive for use simply plug it into your Xbox, then go into your system settings and then storage. Click on the USB drive
and choose "configure now". There is some more info about USB compatibility and formatting

here on the official Xbox website. There is also a video showing exactly how to do it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLoaMzG9Hi4. Many thanks to DarkHorseDre for the links!

3. Many people have made comments suggesting that the cloud will sync backup player data stored there with your player data on your hard drive. So that, if your player data on your hard drive was corrupted then the
backup data in the cloud would sync and be corrupted too. This is incorrect however. The cloud ONLY syncs with the local cache that it uses on your hard drive, and not with any of your game saves. They are completely independent. Cloud backups function
exactly like a USB or memory card backup, except that they are stored online.

BACKUP TUTORIAL VIDEO:

The video showing how to make a backup is available http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F6ODna_PuM The exact backup method shown in this video also works for backing up to USB
or memory card.

Recommendation: keep a copy of all your content on a usb flashdrive.

All your Gears stuff is stored locally, NOT on the servers.

Hmm
www.myopinionofthings.com/seagate-backup-plus-fast-with-an-xbox-one

this guy noticed a difference but I cant say if its just the usb 3.0 that made the difference or the actual drive from Seagate.

I feel you, Im trying to find a way to do the same thing with my minecraft saves... Except that I feel my issue Is even more complicated ... I have 3 usbs plus cloud saves plus my hard drive (these are with my 360) and I'm trying to move them to my Xbox
one and keep them all separate and organized.. All while mostly keeping the same "world title".. So yea gg

That ^^^

But I would also do a backup save of that one file to either a USB flash drive or the cloud in case you accidentally save over it on your XBOX.
