Hacking How to backup user profiles, not just game saves? Complicated by RedNAND.

[Smash Br0]

Quick question: How do I back up a user profile that only exists on a Wii U's RedNAND? I can see this user's game saves in Memory Management, but not the profile itself. I'm worried that if this RedNAND corrupts, I won't be able to restore this user's profile -- and this user's game saves will be useless without the profile tied to them, I'm guessing.

BTW, since the NANDs are linked, I can see this user's game saves in SysNAND, but they have a "?" where the Mii should be, since the user profile only exists in RedNAND.

Thanks for any advice.

Nope, uncompressed save backups can be restored by anyone (else we wouldn't have save exchange topics!!)

At most you'll have to restore the backup of the user-specific save to a different profile folder (the ones named 80000...)
