Backups
Information about how to backup various aspects of DOOM Eternal.
Backup Save Files
This technique essentially gives the player infinite save slots for each campaign.
Finding Save Files
Find your remote folder for DOOM Eternal, ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\#########\782330\remote
The ######### will be your Steam ID.
You should now see all of your saves and profile data as folders.
Save Folders
The following are valid save folders:
GAME-AUTOSAVE0
GAME-AUTOSAVE1
GAME-AUTOSAVE2
DLC1-AUTOSAVE3
DLC1-AUTOSAVE4
DLC1-AUTOSAVE5
DLC2-AUTOSAVE6
DLC2-AUTOSAVE7
DLC2-AUTOSAVE8
HORDE-AUTOSAVE9
PROFILE
GAME = Base Campaign
DLC1 = The Ancient Gods Part 1
DLC2 = The Ancient Gods Part 2
HORDE = Horde Mode
PROFILE = DOOM Level Data
You may not have all of these folders. That means you do not have a saved game for every slot.
However, you should always have a PROFILE folder.
Backing Up Save Files
- Copy any one of these in a safe location.
- After you have saved a copy, you may delete the original save file and start a new one in game.
- If you want to restore a save, simply copy your backed save slot back into your remote folder.
Backup DOOM Levels
This technique also allows the player to modify their DOOM level freely, as it is stored client-side.
Your DOOM Level and Event XP are not the same thing. A DOOM Level measures how much you have played the game and essentially serves no value other than prestige.
Finding Your DOOM Level File
This step is not required, but it provides an alternative way to copy your save files and profile data.
This is also relevant to Backup Save Files.
Find your remote folder for DOOM Eternal, ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\#########\782330\remote
The ######### will be your Steam ID.
You should now see all of your saves and profile data as folders. PROFILE is the only folder you should worry about. It contains profile.bin which stores your DOOM Level.

- Drag & Drop profile.bin.json into idProfile.exe -> profile.bin.json.bin will now be created -> Rename the file to profile.bin -> Delete the old file if need-be
- Open: backup.zip -> Replace the old profile.bin with the new one
