Save backups

Automatic backup

The first time Edit mode is turned on in a session, your most recently changed career save (.fm) is backed up automatically and a “Your career save was backed up” notification appears.

Settings

1. In Settings > Save backups you can change the “Back up the save automatically before editing” switch and the number of backups to keep (default 10); old ones are only deleted in the backup folder.
2. “Open backup folder” opens the folder, “Show in folder” on a list entry selects that backup in Explorer; “Back up now” makes a manual backup.

Restoring a backup

1. Close the game.
2. Copy the backup.
3. Put it in the Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 27\games folder.
