Backup the Data

You can create a new backup from the saved data by using the SaveSystemAPI.CreateBackupAsync and then restore the latest backup by calling the SaveSystemAPI.RestoreLatestBackupAsync method or restore a specific backup by using the SaveSystemAPI.RestoreBackupAsync.

Creating and Restoring a Backup

async void Start() {

    // The identifier of the saved data to create a backup for.
    string identifier = "name.json";

    // A sample data to demonstrate the before / after of restoring a backup
    string data = "The sample data";

    // Saving a sample data
    await SaveSystemAPI.SaveAsync(identifier, data);

    // Create a new backup
    await SaveSystemAPI.CreateBackupAsync(identifier);

    // Modifying the data and saving it again to have a different version than of the backup
    data = "New Data!";
    await SaveSystemAPI.SaveAsync(identifier, data);

    // And then restore the backup
    await SaveSystemAPI.RestoreLatestBackupAsync(identifier);

    // Now, load the data to see the result
    data = await SaveSystemAPI.LoadAsync<string>(identifier);

    Debug.Log(data); // Outputs "The sample data"
