how do i backup everything on my 3ds?

[nicollo9356]

thinking of going to some 3rd party to get my 3ds xl repaired, but i dont wanna risk getting all my data wiped. is there a way to backup everything in case that might happen?

would it be enough to just copy and paste every file from my microsd card onto my pc?

or maybe i dont have to backup anything, and removing the microsd card before getting it repaired is safe enough?

Dump all saves you care for with Checkpoint and/or JKSM and store the decrypted copies on multiple storage media.
Backup the NAND as well and store the image on multiple storage media.

If a factory reset is performed all encrypted data inside SD:/Nintendo 3DS becomes useless. Restoration of the encryption key might be possible.
If the motherboard is replaced all encrypted data becomes useless forever unless the encryption keys are backed up (they get embedded inside NAND backup by GodMode9).
