Tutorial: How to backup your Gears of War 3 player data to Cloud Storage

Just a quick video showing you how to make a backup copy of your Gears 3 player data file to the new Cloud Storage. I forgot to mention it in the video, but you must be connected to Xbox live for this to work.

NOTE: People on the forums have been worried about data being lost or corrupted if you lose internet connection while storing or saving games to the Cloud. However, the Cloud uses a local cache on your Hard Drive to save data if you lose internet connection and then uploads that data when you next connect to Live. So you don't need to worry about losing any data when using the Cloud.

If you would like more information on rank resets and making backups, then visit my reset thread on the Gears of War 3 forum here: http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/839290-AVOID-BEING-RESET!!!-New-video-sho...

@shakurlover2 The previous video was set to private, so you can't see it without the link. This one is public.

@AwesomeSoccerSkills Did you do the steps in this video BEFORE you were reset? This method won't get your data back unless you had already made a backup.

@StalwartArab Why do Americans confuse Australians' accents with English ones? They sound nothing alike lol.

Is cloud storage free to use?

Think I ran into you just before on Gears

Thank you very much for this, nothing better than a live demonstration to show you how to do something. Much appreciated.

My respect level for Epic Games has fallen so low ever since they did this. If it happens again, I'm boycotting any game made by them.

Do you think changing your character or skin instead of playing a match would save your backup?
