I have 2 new 3ds consoles and want to use dsi ware transfer method in 3ds.guide but was wondering in there is any way of restoring the data on the target console after the tutorial

If they are both old or both new you can first transfer the target to the source, and after seven days, do the normal DSiWare hax tutorial, in the process moving the target's data back to the target.
correct, but they will lose all the data on the target 3ds, they dont want to lose the information

No they won't. The data will be transferred to the source then back to the target. If you made a typo and meant source, they can do a NAND and SD card backup before the first transfer and retain the source data also.

But. If the Target console has a NNID, it must be System formatted in order to receive a transfer from another 3DS. It would mean losing the savedata of digital games and extdata in general too.

If the Target doesn't have a NNID, you can transfer without formatting, though.

Sadly my 3ds has a mind but I found out that DSTT flashcards works with the 3ds.guide

See my diagram. I'm surprised you of all people didn't understand :-(

TARGET is not yet hacked, thus it cannot have a nand backup
At no stage does the target need a NAND backup

i kinda see what you are saying now, but that will take a lot of effort, they have found a dstt card, that will save a lot of headaches
Well now that you understand, you won't have to give people incorrect information in future.

Also, one of the comments you quoted was to Olmectron, who I think very highly of, hence the comment

they would also need to wait 7 days, before transferring the data back to the target, so much trouble, not worth it :)
I said this on the beginning so you aren't adding any new information with your comment
If they are both old or both new you can first transfer the target to the source, and after seven days, do the normal DSiWare hax tutorial, in the process moving the target's data back to the target.
And anyway, the OP did not say he had a ntrboot capable flashcart in the beginning. It is not up to you to make value judgements about how important someone's data is, and whether something is worth it or not. It is our job in replying to questions to give people all the information they need to make judgements for themselves based on their own values.

Sorry. Somehow I'm missing something. I still don't get it. :( I'll check everything I knew so far.

Maybe I'm still asleep. It's 7 AM around here.
That's ok the diagram is a little messy. I'll make it better and pm it to you
