Hi all,
Yesterday my four year old sun accidentally deleted all savegames in a Wii U game.
I know he should not play alone etc etc, but with kids these kind of things can happen.
I started thinking if there may be an option to create a backup of the savegame data, on external media, USB for example.
I found this article on the nintendo website: http://http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2865/~/how-to-back-up-save-data
I tested the following steps.
* Inserted USB in the Wii U
* Formatted the USB device
* Backup (COPY) all game data from certain games to the USB device
* Deleted a save game slot from Super Mario 3D
* Restore (COPY) game data from the USB device, back to the SAME Wii U system and overwrite.
After that I tested, but the removed save game slot did not return.
Is it even possible to restore savegame data from usb , on the SAME Wii U device ?
Or did I do something wrong ?
Thanks in advance for all info!
