Recover installed NSP?

[viper3344]

Hey all! Paranoid about backups. For my XCI's I know I can just copy them back over from my SD cards (should my backup hdd die)
But what about NSP installs?

I install via tinfoil. If my backup HDD dies and I ONLY have the installed NSP's on the emunand, is there any way to get them back over to their original NSP format for future use?

Thanks!

Yes, just dump them with nxdumptool.

Just copy back via mtp in DBI

DBI can list your games, updates and dlc as nsp...

Justa grab and drop

Nice! So how does that work?

Run DBI and just have an external usb C hdd attached to the switch? Then it can copy to it? Thanks!

MTP mode and connected to your Computer.

Got it! Sorry for being a noob. So DBi MTP mode. The switch will show as a drive on the PC? Then all the installed titles, updates and DLC will just be displayed as NSP's to copy over?

I recommend to give the readme a read, the mtp part in particular:
