'''Island backup''' is a feature in {{NH}} that allows the player to back up their [[Town|island]] to their Nintendo Account to be restored in the event that the [[Nintendo Switch]] system the island is stored on is lost or damaged. This feature was added in the {{NHVer|1.4.0|full}} and requires an active [[Nintendo Switch Online]] membership. Since {{NH|short|nolink}} does not support standard Nintendo Switch Online cloud saves, this is the only way to back up or restore {{NH|short|nolink}} save data.

Island backup can be enabled in the Settings menu, which is accessed pressing {{Input|-}} on the game's title screen. Afterward, the island save data is periodically backed up to the cloud, with the latest backup date and time displayed on the title screen. Restoring an island backup requires contacting Nintendo Customer Support; once done, holding {{Input|-}} as the game boots causes [[Tom Nook]] to appear and give the player the option to restore any islands that are backed up to their Nintendo Account.
