Final Fantasy VII Remake is a good example of why a save-location page must name the storefront, not merely the game. The Steam and Epic releases both use the Documents-based FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE tree but separate data under Steam and EOS, while the Microsoft Store build uses a WGS container. A useful backup therefore starts by identifying which executable/storefront produced the save. Copying the parent folder blindly can mix unrelated metadata and make later troubleshooting harder. SaveEditor treats this hub as a reference for locating and preserving the PC data; it does not infer that slot data is safely interchangeable across every storefront.
Which storefront context matters
Documented Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade PC launchers/storefronts: Steam, Epic Games Launcher, Microsoft Store. The storefront changes the save root. Do not copy a Steam folder into EOS or WGS and assume the container layout is equivalent. The active storefront/account should be identified before any restore because cloud and local storage may not use the same path or container across editions.
Documented cloud behavior
Steam Cloud, Epic cloud, and Xbox Cloud are documented for their respective storefronts; OneDrive may also affect Documents when folder backup is enabled. Cloud synchronization is useful for continuity, but it can also turn a restore into a conflict-resolution event. Let synchronization settle before making a manual backup, and keep an offline copy outside any folder monitored by the launcher or operating-system sync service.
Local save roots still matter
The researched local save boundary is Windows: Steam: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy GamesFINAL FANTASY VII REMAKESteam ; Epic: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy GamesFINAL FANTASY VII REMAKEEOS ; Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%Packages39EA002F.EXED1_n746a19ndrrjgSystemAppDatawgs; the known file or folder pattern is Storefront-specific save subfolders beneath the documented FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE profile root.. A cloud-enabled game still has concrete local data involved in ordinary play, and that local context is what you need when identifying which copy was modified most recently.
Avoid accidental overwrite loops
Close the game and launcher, identify the storefront actually used, and copy the complete matching Steam, EOS, or WGS save directory before replacing any slot. Label the backup with storefront and date. When restoring, close the game and launcher, preserve both the current local copy and the backup you want to test, then place the intended data in the matching profile/storefront location. Do not repeatedly open the game between different copies without noting which side the cloud client selected.
Compatibility and conflict checks
PC storefront saves are related game data but their container paths differ. Treat manual cross-store transfer as a separate migration task rather than ordinary restore unless a tested conversion workflow is available. If progress disappears or rolls back, If progress looks missing, first check Steam versus EOS versus Microsoft Store and whether Documents is redirected by OneDrive. A cloud conflict can restore a newer or older copy after a manual replacement. Resolve identity/path/cloud questions first. A cloud conflict is not proof that the save itself is corrupt, and a successful upload is not proof that files from another storefront are compatible.
