To test your backup you just need to run it into single-player and verify that it is working and that all your constructions are there. To do so please follow the next steps: 1. Unzip the backup you just downloaded. Usually, you do so by right-clicking on it and then click on `Extract Here`. --- 2. Press the Windows key (`⊞ Win`) and type `run`. --- 3. Type `%appdata%\.minecraft` in the box that appears and then press the `Enter` key. Note that this should open the default Minecraft installation folder. If you installed it in a different folder you need to go yourself there. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/5e2d6cfb04917c00/040c102a-c690-481d-b91d-0172d1_13qwg51.png) --- 4.
