How to Backup, Download, & Restore Switch Game Saves with JKSV on Atmosphere CFW

Game save management on Atmosphere CFW made easy thanks to JKSV! This tutorial will walk through the process of backing up existing game saves on your modified Switch console, restoring saves, and as an added bonus… Restoring saves uploaded by others! There might be some confusion between formats due to other save data management applications such as Checkpoint or EdiZon, but this video will hope to clear that up as well if you get saves dumped from another program.

This will require a modified Switch along with knowing the basics of how to navigate it.
