Back-Up Data

This is the location of the world data for windows users.

Go to your search bar and type %appdata%
It should open up the “Roaming” folder.
Go to the address bar and select “AppData”.
You should now see three folders (Local, LocalLow, and Roaming).
Select the “LocalLow” folder.
Select “IronGate” folder, double click into “Valheim” folder.

Copy the folders: “characters” and “worlds”.
Paste those files in a “Safe” location on your computer.

If you ever need to restore the back up, just place the backup back to the location.

Then go into the “worlds” folder.

There should be two files, a .db file and a .fwl file.
if you are lucky, there will be another set of files named: xxxxx.fwl.old, and xxxxxx.db.old
