Last updated
Borderlands 4 continues the series tradition of saving under Documents\My Games. Each Vault Hunter is a numbered 1.sav, 2.sav file inside a Profiles\client folder under your Steam ID.
Both Steam and Epic use the same parent folder. Back up the whole Borderlands 4 folder and both storefronts are covered.
Where Borderlands 4 stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 4\Saved\SaveGames
Character files live deeper at <Steam ID>\Profiles\client as numbered .sav files. Copy the entire Borderlands 4 folder with the game closed. OneDrive sometimes hijacks Documents and causes the known settings-failed-to-save error, so exclude the folder or unlink Documents from OneDrive.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Borderlands 4 characters?
Copy the full Borderlands 4 folder from My Games. Each numbered .sav under Profiles\client is one Vault Hunter, and the folder keeps them matched to your account ID.
Why does Borderlands 4 say settings failed to save?
The usual cause is OneDrive redirecting Documents or antivirus blocking writes. Point Documents back at the local disk or allowlist the game, then relaunch.
