Homebrew Should i backup bossextdata?

[Nintendostar02]

I know that boss extdata are the data downloaded via SpotPass. I THINK (correct me if I'm wrong) that Checkpoint DOES NOT back up boss extdata, whereas JKSM does.
What I don't know and would like to ask is: should I be backing up boss extdata? If I were to restore only extdata and savedata on a pristine 3DS (that doesnt have any boss extdata), would I risk losing progress, DLC, or similar things without boss extdata?
I have this doubt because I only backed up the savedata and extdata of my games and system apps (i.e., Miiplaza, AR Games, etc.), and I wouldn't want to find out that I've been running a risk all this time... also because if I do need to back them up, it means I have to use JKSM only, right?
I don't even know if various games ever actually used boss extdata. Thanks in advance.

PS: i know it is a repost, but i cant delete the other one, so if a mod/admin/whatever could delete it, they would be nice... and yeah, i reposted it because idk where find this info and this is the only website i knew someone has the answer. Thanks

Dump the save data for a game with Checkpoint.
Dump the save data for the same game with JKSM.
Compare the data produced by Checkpoint with the data produced by JKSM.
Then you will know whether or not they back up the same data, and you will not have to speculate anymore, or make any more threads.

This is not my question... and your answer is even stupid, obviosly i already did that, i'm not an idiot. Rather than bother me, ignore me and let other people answer... unless this website changed his purpose and now it is give stupid answer

You're the one who said

Either the data is the same, or it isn't. Either way, you should "KNOW" if JKSM is doing something that Checkpoint does not.

And how many more threads are you going to start before you realize no one is going to answer? Or maybe you think you need to insult some more people for trying to help you?

I asked if i should backup bossextdata because idk if losing them causes the lost of save data/content.

You are only bother me because i post twice (spoiler: they was different question).

Other spoiler: answer saying:"Do the test yourself" is stupid answer. I'm asking because i dont want to make test and mess up my 3ds... if this is your helping, shut up.

A forum and anybody answer a question that should be answered by default because is a 3ds basic problem modded for 15 years... where should find answer, if no one answer me... a what deserve this website or the subreddit i asked?
You are useless... i must reverse engenering a console because who already did that dont want to explain his discoveries? Bleah.

When somebody ask, somebody must answer. Smart answer, not like yours. But you think you are helping me... bother me for a double post on a forum i dont use since never.
Give me definitiom of boss extdata, example of boss extdata and effect of deletijg boss extdata... that's it. Someone in this world know that?

No, seems that anybody know. So a what deserve this forum? Idk

How is backing up data going to mess anything up? Also, you said you already did the test.

Since no one else is answering, it appears you are literally the only person who cares.

On the contrary, no one is answering your question. Perhaps we can find a question that someone can answer, instead of throwing around insults?

You said you already did some tests. Why not share the results, and see what we can learn?

Do you think anyone is going to want to help you if you're just going to insult someone for trying?

The test was that jksv create boss extdata folder, while checkpoint not... the end.

I dont mess up with my 3ds, when there are at least one person (the one wno discovered boss extdata) who know how they work and impact save data.

If i have to test myself, this community is useless. If you cant answer about how to work a 3ds, this community is useless. If you answer with "do test yourself", your answer is stupid. If i am the only one who care about basic functioning of the 3ds, this community is useless.
And you still dont answer me, so or you give me the answer or shut up, because you prefer bother me for double posting rather than help me... you find the time to bother me, but not for answer me... bah.

Okay. Is there anything inside that folder, or is the folder empty?

Also, which games did you try to back up? Was that folder always empty?

I dont mess up with my 3ds

Fortunately no one is suggesting you need to do that.

If i have to test myself, this community is useless. If you cant answer about how to work a 3ds, this community is useless.

If no one answered, were you just going to post the same thread over and over again..? Would you have preferred that?

And you still dont answer me, so or you give me the answer or shut up, because you prefer bother me for double posting rather than help me...

But I am trying to help you, despite the fact that you've repeatedly insulted me.
