Help moving activity log to a new 3ds

[Kirby34]

Hi everyone! So here is my situation, I believe that my 3DS motherboard is slowly dying and I’m thinking about replacing it. I am still able to (for the most part) boot my 3DS and I’m trying to save as much of my data as I can.
Using checkpoint I was able to back up most default applications but I get a crash every time I try to make a backup of the event log and the sound apps (I don’t really care about the latter). Afterwords It shows that a backup has been created but when I try to restore, the whole system crashes.
I guess my question is twofold, is there a better way to get my data and also, how can I make sure that I backed up everything correctly?
Thanks for your help!

You can just back up your firmware, and put it on your new system (I think). Try following this guide for backing it up: https://3ds.hacks.guide/godmode9-usage.html#creating-a-nand-backup

I suggest having a system backup on-hand before you modded your 3DS so that you can restore it. There's also re-installing the system firmware through GodMode9.
