Assassin's Creed Mirage: Protect Manual Saves Before Starting a New Run

Choose an empty slot deliberately

The help entry says New Game lets you choose an empty slot and warns that selecting a slot already in use overwrites that save. Load and Delete are separate menu actions that require holding the displayed command. Read the selected row before confirming; do not rely only on slot position.

1. From the main menu, open the save list and read the displayed slot, date and playtime for the run you want to keep.
2. For New Game, select a visibly empty slot; pause if the menu highlights an existing run.
3. Before Load or Delete, verify the highlighted save identity and follow the on-screen hold instruction.
4. Remember that autosaves are a separate pool and can rotate; do not treat them as five permanent backups.
5. After creating a new run, return to the list once and confirm the old run still appears in its original slot.

PC backup: match the launcher and preserve the original

Ubisoft lists different default PC locations for Epic, Steam and Ubisoft Connect. A path copied from another launcher can point to the wrong profile. Close the game and client before copying files, preserve the folder structure, and never edit or rename the only copy.

1. Open Ubisoft's live save-management page and choose the path matching the launcher you actually use.
2. Confirm the Ubisoft account/profile directory and game identifier before copying.
3. Copy the relevant save folder to a separate dated backup location; do not move or delete the original.
4. If the path is missing or differs, stop and use Ubisoft Support rather than guessing a folder.
5. Test recovery only on a duplicate if the platform's supported process allows it.

Slots and cross-progression are separate questions
