Hi there! It is not that difficult to back up your single-player files in ARK. I will give you a clear guide for you to achieve your goal with great ease.

Step 5. You can copy the file path and navigate to the folder with File Explorer.

After finding the ARK file location, you can back up these files now. Except for copying the folder manually, you’d better try some professional and useful backup software, such as EaseUS Todo Backup Home.

Not only can you use EaseUS to accelerate backup speed, but you can also save all SP files in the cloud space provided by EaseUS for free, saving your computer memory.

I highly recommend EaseUS as your daily backup assistant for your computer, as it can back up game files, and also can play a huge role in system backup, disk backup, and even system migration and disk cloning.
