Homebrew Question Save dump with Switch 5.1.0?

[Robertuxo]

Hi! I want to make backup copies of my saves and I would like to know if I can do it on my console that is in the 5.1.0 version.
If yes, what method should follow, thanks.

Unfortunately, 5.1.0 likely broke Hekate so there's no way to backup saves AFAIK.

Try this. Not sure if it would work but you can try. Scriesm said that it's the hbmenu build that's need to be fixed in order to work on 5.1 everything else is working like it should. You could try downloading the checkpoint app for save backup and restore then rename and replace the checkpoint.nro with the hbmenu.nro (not sure if thats the exact name, recheck the original) and put it on the root of the sd card. If it worked. While on the switch menu when pressing album it should take you to checkpoint instead of the hbmenu. Not sure if works but I think it is your only option atm. Good luck.

Tested and not working.

Just tried this and all it does is hang on an empty screen.

Shit. Thought it would work. I don't think there's any workaround atm. Hopefully one comes out soon.
