Dragon’s Dogma 2 deliberately maintains more than one save concept. The Steam `win64_save` folder includes the current save, an inn/rest slot, and settings/context records. That means a one-file backup can be misleading when the goal is a full rollback. SaveEditor.com recommends copying the entire folder before experimentation and labeling the backup by date. Steam Cloud should be considered part of the restore plan so it does not immediately reintroduce an unwanted remote revision.
Prepare the source PC
On the source system, identify the actual Dragon's Dogma 2 save root: Windows: Steam: <Steam-folder>userdata<user-id>2054970remotewin64_save | Linux / Steam Play: Steam Play: <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/2054970/pfx/. The expected file/folder pattern is data000.bin
data001Slot.bin
ssdata00-1.bin. Close the game, let the active launcher finish writing and synchronizing, then make a complete offline copy rather than transferring a file that may still be open.
Preserve storefront and profile identity
Documented storefronts: Steam. The save is under Steam userdata rather than the game installation directory. The numeric user folder is account-specific. A transfer between two PCs is simplest when both systems use the same storefront/account/profile context. If the destination uses a different store or container, treat that as a migration problem rather than an ordinary restore.
Move the complete save boundary
Copy the complete win64_save folder before any rollback. Keep data000.bin and data001Slot.bin together with the settings/context files rather than assuming one file is the whole profile. Put the copied data on the destination only after confirming the destination save path. If the game creates a new empty save first, keep that new folder as another backup so you can compare structures and revert.
Handle cloud sync deliberately
Steam Cloud can synchronize the win64_save records. A rollback should be planned so cloud sync does not immediately restore the copy you were trying to replace. Decide whether the local transferred copy or cloud copy should be authoritative before launching the game. If possible, preserve both. After the transferred save loads correctly, make a fresh in-game save and let the launcher synchronize normally.
Check compatibility before blaming the transfer
Steam PC saves live under the win64_save directory. Community/Steam documentation consistently identifies data000.bin as the current save, data001Slot.bin as the inn/rest slot, while ssdata00-1.bin stores settings-related data. Compatibility note: The game maintains different save concepts, including the current save and inn-rest slot. Replacing one without understanding the other can produce confusing rollback behavior. If the destination does not see the transferred progress, If testing a restore, preserve the live folder and coordinate Steam Cloud state first. Do not delete files merely to start over without a dated backup. Verify game edition/version, store, profile IDs, redirected folders, and mod/DLC dependencies before editing the save itself.
Verification context: The Steam userdata location was reviewed against PCGamingWiki. Filename roles were cross-checked against long-running Steam community documentation for the PC release.
