Using homebrew, it is possible to back up and restore Switch saves. This can be used to [[Switch:Transferring_Saves|transfer saves]] between emuMMC and sysMMC, allow you to backup saves for games that don't support cloud saving, or use saves found online (e.g. to unlock all characters in Smash Ultimate).

[[https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV|JKSV]] is the recommended save manager for Switch. It supports backing up and restoring user saves as well as device saves, which are used by games such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Instructions for use can be found on its [[https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV#quick-guide|GitHub README]].

[[https://github.com/Flagbrew/Checkpoint|Checkpoint]] is also a save manager, but as it doesn't support device saves it is unable to backup some game data. While it does support cheats, which JKSV doesn't, [[https://github.com/tomvita/EdiZon-SE|Edizon-SE]] is recommended for cheats instead as it provides more features then Checkpoint. See [[Switch:Cheats]] for more details.
