# Backup DOOM Levels

<p class="callout success">This technique also allows the player to modify their DOOM level freely, as it is stored client-side.</p>

<p class="callout warning">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.</p>

### Finding Your DOOM Level File

<p class="callout info">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](https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/miscellaneous/page/backup-save-files).</p>

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.

### Profile Tools

De-serializes the profile.bin file into a readable JSON format.
