There are two ways to back up FH5, and I will provide detailed information about each of them, so you can choose the most suitable FH5 backup solution according to your actual situation.

📍The first one - Rely on Steam Cloud.

Steam Cloud is an official cloud sync service provided by Steam that can automatically upload game progress, personal settings, and other player data to an offsite server provided by Steam for storage. 

As long as you can provide your account and password, then even if you log in to your Steam account on another device, Steam will be able to sync your previously uploaded data from the server to this new device so that you can read your game progress properly.

Not all games currently support the Steam Cloud feature, but Forza Horizon 5 can use it properly. You just need to tap on the game properties and turn on the feature to enjoy the automatic service provided by Steam.

However, the biggest drawback of Steam Cloud is its instability. Many users have complained that Steam Cloud fails to upload the latest game data in time and even causes the game progress to be lost and unrecoverable. This is unacceptable for many players who spend dozens of hours playing games.

📍So, to remedy this, we introduced a second method - Rely on EaseUS Todo Backup, a professional backup tool.

You are able to find the storage location of FH5 saves on your computer: C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/STEAM_ID/1551360/, and take a manual backup to copy it to another drive to keep as a backup. However, it would be very difficult for many players to stick to a manual backup every time they shut down FH5. This is where EaseUS Todo Backup can come in handy.

EaseUS Todo Backup is very good backup software and has incremental backup capabilities. You just need to make the FH5 saves folder your backup target, and EaseUS will automatically start the backup process every time your game progress is updated, ensuring that the game data is always up to date.
