Elden Ring stores its save files at %APPDATA%\EldenRing on Windows. Checkpoint64 already knows this folder — it backs it up automatically and keeps every version, so a corrupted or overwritten save is one click from restored.
Where Elden Ring saves are stored
- Windows —
%APPDATA%\EldenRing
The save data here is .sl2 / .bak / .co2 files — back up the folder as a set, not single files, so a restore always keeps them consistent.
How to open the save folder
- Windows — press Win+R, paste
%APPDATA%\EldenRing, and press Enter.
Backing up Elden Ring saves automatically
- Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Elden Ring — the save path above is already preset.
- Auto-backup watches the folder and uploads a new version whenever it changes, keeping full history.
- Restore any version in one click if a save corrupts, gets overwritten, or a mod breaks it.
