Help me back up or roll back my Palworld save on this PC, following findmysave's steps.

1. Read https://findmysave.com/palworld/backup-restore/steps.json. If you can't open URLs, use what's below.
2. Rules:
   - Start read-only: find my saves and list name, size and modified time.
   - Back up the whole save folder before changing anything.
   - Ask me before you delete, rename, move or overwrite any file (changes_files=true).
   - No anti-cheat files, no third-party tools unless I say yes.
   - Make sure the game is closed first.
3. Check with me that this is what happened, then do its steps in order and tell me how to check each one:
   - Restore from the game's own backup copy
4. Save folder: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\<your Steam ID>\  Files: Level.sav, LevelMeta.sav, Players/<32-hex GUID>.sav, LocalData.sav, backup/local/ and backup/world/, *.sav.bak in Players/ and SaveData/
5. If nothing works, stop and tell me. Remote help: https://findmysave.com/help/

Restore from the game's own backup

Symptom

Your current save is broken or went wrong, and you want to go back to one of the backups the game made.

Steps marked “changes files” delete, rename or overwrite something. Back up the whole save folder first.

  1. Close Palworld completely (or stop the server).

    Not sure where the save folder is?

  2. Copy the whole world folder somewhere safe first.

  3. Open <world folder>\backup\local (and backup\world). Pick a snapshot with a timestamp from before the problem. The newest one may already be damaged.

  4. Copy the snapshot's Level.sav AND LevelMeta.sav over the files in the world folder. Copy the Players files from backup/local too. Some players report the world goes missing if you copy only some of the files.changes files

  5. If you use Steam Cloud, turn it off first so it doesn't overwrite the files you just restored.changes files

  6. Launch the game and load your world and character.
