Copying before extracting is useful for simply backing up a save file with minimal hassleįarming: When doing runs that only happen once, such as farming King Wee Wee for a good Wee Wee's Super Booster, the character can be overwritten to repeat the run. Doing this after extracting the file with an extractor program such as XTAF (to make it readable on a PC) is especially useful for creating back-ups before editing in WillowTree.

Any save file on a USB may also be backed up to a computer by copying the file from the USB to any location on the computer.

This creates two copies of the same file on different devices, and is also a useful way for physically moving save files between locations (such as for playing on another console, or editing in WillowTree on a computer).

Xbox/PS3: A save file may be copied from the hard drive to a portable storage device such as an Xbox memory unit or USB flash drive stick. bak# extension and overwriting the original save file will restore the back-up. The back-ups are named save#.sav.bak# where the first and second group of numbers are the save file and back-up file identifier numbers respectively. Note: As of version 2.00, Willowtree# automatically stores back-ups in the same folder as the original save file when the 'save' or 'save as' menu item is selected, even if no change was made to the save file.

To make multiple 'time shots' to revert to, just make multiple back-up folders.

Open the folder 'borderlands back up' and press Ctrl+V (paste). Press Ctrl+A (select all) then Ctrl+C (copy). Open the file located in: My Documents/My Games/Borderlands/SaveData.

PC: Make a new folder labeled 'borderlands back up' or something similar.
