Terraria backup delete for any reason

Try to see into the Xbox settings under Minecraft and delete any unused files from there like any extra-backups.

Im trying to backup the game Terraria to the cloud on Xbox One. I need to backup the worlds, and playerdata. We use a disk to run the game on our Xbox.

How would we backup worlds and players to the cloud, or back them up to anything else? Many of our worlds are getting corrupted, and we need to backup the good ones before it is too late.

So does anyone here know how we would backup this data?

The game data should be saved to the cloud (only the main game is played from the local disk). If you are on the dashbaord, pres the menu button (three dashes) and you should be able to go to the manage game option. From there it should have an option
for the save data which should be directed to the cloud already. It allows you to delete your save data from there (if you needed to). But you could check there to confirm it is saving to the cloud and not your local drive.

Hello Chase 🌈,

We appreciate you for bringing this up to Xbox Forum.

We understand that you encountered issues playing the game Terraria. As per description, you found out that the previous game was not saved and have lost its progress.

We are sorry to hear that you lost your progress in Terraria due a save failed. That must be frustrating.

Let us check on this together and sort this out to assist your concern.

There are a few possible ways to recover your lost save files:

• You can right-click on the corrupted player or world file and select Restore previous save.
  
• You can rename the backup files (.bak) by removing the .bak extension and see if they work.
  
• You can copy the old files to a new folder and remove all files in the Terraria folders. Keep the originals as backups. Change the names of the copied world files and put them back into the Terraria ‘worlds’ folder. Start up the game and see if any of the old save files with the new names appear.
  

If you have other clarifications, you can get back to us by replying to this post.

We will be glad to follow up and help you.



Sincerely,

Hi Magalie,

Thank you for the information. We can pull up the Xbox 360 guide on the Xbox One when you load up Fable 2 and from the Xbox guide you can go to the Storage section and then delete the cloud storage you want to choose.

First, load up Fable 2 and then press the Menu and View button (small black buttons below Xbox button) at the same time and the 360 guide should pull up. From the guide, scroll to the right to Settings and then select System Settings. Select Storage and
then Cloud Saved Games, select Games & Apps, find Fable 2 and delete the save that you want.

I'll provide some links for more information:
