First of all I'm sorry about how far-fetched this concept is. But I'm in need of help and I haven't found any so far after searching for an hour. So: is there any way to back-up a save that's attached to a Switch console? I.e., via hacking, and storing it elsewhere.
If it's impossible as of now I'd still appreciate knowing it. And if there's a chance someone might be able to find a way to crack the local save per Switch thing, I'd appreciate it, thank you. I've played AC so much and I do love the game, and I'd hate to lose the world I've helped create.
Background is: I'm home from university temporarily and working from home and I've been using the family's Switch to play my Animal Crossing. My 30 year old brother, E, is just...well. A very sadistic person--best embodied by how he used to attack and harass his kid brother until he cried--this made E smile and laugh in complete glee. He has never changed. Of course he's gone in and out of mental health facilities since then and while he's less violent, he still does fairly petty shitty things. He has deleted other people's saves for "fun" before. And no I don't egg him on. I constantly help him to keep him happy, such as fixing his broken electronics, fixing computer glitches, troubleshooting things, and I've probably spent 100s of hours doing this because he always ends up lashing out violently at our mother when he can't have his playthings and I want to protect her.
So that's that. Sorry about the life story. I'm just trying to get across about how this is pretty important and I really need a ways of somehow saving my save. There's a chance he might not fuck with it, but I don't trust him.
