If he has been keeping his SysNAND clean and away from CFW/homebrew, restoring a NAND backup before going online isn't necessary.Do you restore your backup nand every time you go online?

be glad you don't live in Japan it's much worse than being banned for a modded save (we're talking prison time)modifying a save file them going online with it may result in a ban?, i don't want to do the hyper save edit just add items i need for something
There are multiple tools for dumping the NAND. The ReiNX toolkit is currently the fastest ranging from 20 to 30 minutes while Hekate takes at least an hour. SX OS I've heard has an option to dump the NAND but I've never seen anyone use it or report how long it takes. Restoring the NAND is also done with Hekate which takes the same time as whatever you dumped.how long does it take to restore and back up a nand?

i dont play online, no desire to do soDo you restore your backup nand every time you go online?
nope any form of hack gaming results in a ban i would imagine sooner or later emunand won't be safe anymore either
The issue with clearing logs is that it only cleared error logs. By doing that, the rest of the system can detect logs were cleared. A NAND backup resets both the logs and the rest of the system so that it doesn't detect logs were cleared. An analogy you can use to help understand is that clearing error logs is trying to clean up a mess but leaving some remnants behind while restoring the NAND is similar to turning back time.Ok I've been reading a lot of conflicting info about bans. The biggest conflict I've noticed is to do with logs and clean nand.
Clean nand would mean a nand that is backed up, before touching online functionality and custom firmware.
Logs would be the data sent to Nintendo and stored locally on the switch.
Now I have a hypothetical scenario:
1. Clean nand on 3.0 made. (connected to Nintendo network prior)
2. Upgrade to 8.x via cfw.
3. Use cfw but don't go online.
4. Restore clean nand, and use it to go online.
This scenario is fine, but now:
5. Want to use cfw. Backup nand before using cfw?
The main thing that puzzles me is if we use stock/clean nand online, then use cfw, then restore clean nand to go online, isn't it the same as clearing the logs? Or same as having modified logs as the last time the switch connects online, its logs will not be matched with the clean nand backup.
Or do we need to make a clean nand backup everytime prior to using cfw?
