Hi everyone, I have a problem with my wii u. I had transferred all files including games and saves (apart from chbc and other things) to an external hard drive. Then I connected to the wii u from the computer through a hombrew program called wii u ftp server and I had transferred all the files in storage_usb to the computer, then I removed the hard drive and formatted it for use with another computer. Now I decided to reuse it with the wii u and once connected and formatted for the wii u I reconnected the console with the computer and tried to transfer all the files but it keeps crashing (it's about 90GB). So I tried to transfer only the saves but once transferred if I access the game it does not find the saves and the game starts over. Now I would like to ask you if you have a solution to this damage since I had saves of years of games inside and also a lot of games. These aren't much of a problem because I can also re-download them (only one was bought), but rather the problem is the saves I wouldn't want to lose. Hope you can help me, thank you very much
 
1) The FTP homebrews are buggy. Transfairing more than 90 GB is a sure way to trigger bugs.

2) As @DarkVoidPeru said use tools designed for save transfairs: The files need to have the correct permissions. You surely didn't make a list of the permission settings of every single file, so restoring permissions is out of question.

//EDIT: But use this SaveMii version instead, it's actively maintained and cares a lot about such permission things: https://github.com/Xpl0itU/savemii

//EDIT²: @Xpl0itU Is it able to restore permissions even when the saves have been dumped via FTP?
 
So I'm trying to restore all of my saves but savemii doesn't recognise them.
Example (breath of the wild):
UNTITLED/wiiu/backups/00050000101c9500/0/80000001/"all of the saves from 0 to 5"
Is everything right?
SaveMii says that there are no backup
