Backup and Restore Userdata
## Backing Up Your Userdata
In order to make a backup of your WSA data you must copy the ``Userdata.vhdx`` (which includes, but is not limited Android Apps and their data, settings etc.), located at ``%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\userdata.vhdx``, to a safe location
## Restoring Your Backup
Before attempting to restore your backup, you must remove WSA if installed. Then before you run the ``Run.bat`` script (to reinstall WSA after removing it), you need to remove these lines from ``Install.ps1``, located in the your extracted WSA folder:
> [!TIP]
> The Lines (as shown below) that you need to remove in ``Install.ps1`` may vary depending on the type of WSA Build that you are trying to install.
#### Android Settings:
```pwsh
Start-Process "wsa://com.android.settings"
```
#### Official Magisk:
```pwsh
Start-Process "wsa://com.topjohnwu.magisk"
```
#### Magisk Delta:
```pwsh
Start-Process "wsa://io.github.huskydg.magisk"
```
#### Magisk Alpha:
```pwsh
Start-Process "wsa://io.github.vvb2060.magisk"
```
#### Google Play Store:
```pwsh
Start-Process "wsa://com.android.vending"
```
#### Amazon Appstore:
```pwsh
Start-Process "wsa://com.amazon.venezia"
```
After removing the lines above, run the script.
When the Powershell window states "Press any key to quit", at that time multiple dialouge boxes will open:
> [!IMPORTANT]
> ****Ignore these and do not click on anything or close these popups****
Go to ``%localappdata%\Packages`` and (if these folders/directory do not exist, create them) in ``MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\`` paste the userdata.vhdx
Now close the popups and run WSA and your userdata should hopefully be restored
