It apparently has permissions issues with trying to access your save file in newer Android versions, in which case its backup feature will be useless. People have had problems recovering their vaults from the cloud before, and if your game corrupts it's easy for the corrupt version to get saved to the cloud (and if you're not using the cloud or can't and it corrupts then you're screwed if you don't have a backup).įor all platforms see 1.4 for where the game files are located.Īndroid: Give robot9706's Android save editor a look as it has a backup feature (along with many other useful editing features if you're interested). That being said, I would strongly recommend manually backing up your vault every once in a while as well.

If you've reinstalled the game or are playing on a new device, check the box in the empty slot where your vault was, and a loading bar should come up as it downloads your vault from the cloud. For platforms that don't automatically cloud save simply check the box next to your vault in the vault list, and you will enable it.
