Editing Backing up your save directory (section)

== Restoring a previous backup ==

Likewise, this is as simply as just locating the copy you made and overwriting the current <code>Turing Complete</code> save folder with your backed up copy.
{{note|type=info|While not strictly required, it is best practice to shut down the game before restoring a backup.  The game is fairly good at picking up file system changes, but it's still safest to just restart.}}

{{note|type=info|It's generally best to delete the existing <code>Turing Complete</code> folder before restoring a backup, to avoid leaving unexpected files behind.  Make sure to [[#Backing_up_your_save_directory|back it up]] first if you might decide to switch back in the future!}}

{{note|type=warning|Steam's cloud sync system will interfere and attempt to revert back to the data it last knew about.  It is recommended that you turn the cloud sync off, restore your save, and then (if desired) turn cloud sync back on.  Steam with show <code>Cloud conflict</code> when you try to start the game again.  Select "Local Save" to update Steam's storage with the data from your newly-restored save directory.  This can take a while and you may need to attempt synchronization a few times if you have a lot of schematics.  Steam will eventually get all of them though, and you'll be back to normal syncing of smaller changes after that.}}
