	Save files are tagged with the version of the game that last saved the file (''e.g.,'' {{#tag:code\|<gameVersion>{{version\|link=0}}</gameVersion>}}).

	A save file may be transferred to a different device family (''e.g.,'' from mobile to PC) as long as the game version on the receiving device is not older than the save file's version tag. For example, a save file from a mobile device running version 1.4 can be transferred to and used on a PC running {{version\|link=0}}, but a {{version\|link=0}} PC save file will not run on a mobile device with version 1.4.

			If you use the [https://smapi.io SMAPI] modding API, the bundled <samp>SaveBackup</samp> mod keeps up to 10 daily backups of your saves. Even if the original save was completely deleted or corrupted, you can probably recover it from SMAPI's backup.

			To restore a save backup:
			# Find your [[Modding:Player Guide/Getting Started#Find your game folder\|game folder]].
			# Open the <samp>save-backups</samp> subfolder.
			# Unzip (or 'extract') the latest backup which has your save.
			# Copy the save folder back into [[#Find your save files\|your <samp>Saves</samp> folder]].
