In order to backup your Wii Game Saves, Virtual Console games, photos and other saved data on the Wii you will need a SD (Secure Digital) Memory Card. These memory cards, both 1st and 3rd party typically look similar to the one posted below. Insert the card into your Wii in the slot below the Wii Disc Drive.

Starting from the main Wii Channels screen:

1. Select the Wii Icon titled "Wii Options", located in the bottom left hand side of the Wii Channels screen.

2. Select "Data Management", in the Wii Options screen.

3. Select "Save Data", in the Data Management screen.

4. Select "Wii", in the Save Data screen.

5. Select the save game which you want to copy to the SD card in the Wii Save Data screen.

6. Now you will see two options: Copy and Delete. In this case since we are making a backup, we want to select Copy to place a duplicate of the save data on your SD card.

7. Your Wii will next verify you meant what you requested. So verify Yes, you do want to copy your save game data to your SD card.

8. Now the transfer will commence. You will want to heed the words of your mighty Wii and do not remove the SD card or power down your Wii Console until the transfer has completed! Not finishing a transfer may result in data corruption.

9. Congratulations! You have now successfully backed up your Wii Save Data to an SD memory card. Now you can use it on another Wii or learn how to share the gamesave online.
