How to make a backup of your Valheim Character data

Even though you may play on a server, your Valheim character may not be stored there. Your character and all your game progress with that character is stored locally on your computer. This means that you can take the same character between servers, similar to how Terraria works.

Since Valheim is an early access game it is quite possible that your character data is at risk of being corrupted. Here’s how you can back it up;

Backing Up Your Character Data

  1. Navigate to C:\Users\<username\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\Characters on your computer
  2. Copy the contents of this folder somewhere safe
