The ability to back up island save data will surely be a welcome feature but there is a slight catch. Players will be able to back up their save data but will only be able to restore it from the server if they have experienced console failure, their console has been stolen or lost.
Nintendo UK Support has published a new page on their site to instruct Animal Crossing: New Horizons players how to back up and restore their island save data. It doesn’t actually say how to do so as of yet but states that more information is coming soon. Most likely when the feature goes live on July 30th.
Below is what is current written on the Nintendo UK Support page:
