Thanks for the info about Facebook. I thought I linked to Facebook, but I really don’t do much with FB in gaming.
As far as backups, I am on Android for AB2, and I use the tool “adb” (Android Debug Bridge) when my tablet is connected to my PC at work or Mac at home (adb exists for both platforms). The basics behind android backups is discussed here:
How to Back Up Angry Birds Progress on Android (Rooted and Non-Rooted)
It requires some level of tedium: rooting your device, getting developer settings enabled, setting up adb, etc. Once it is working, though, adb works pretty well. I have a script set up on my Mac that goes through all the games I want to back up, though each backup job has to be approved separately by tapping a button on the tablet (so it is not fully automated).
The adb command to back up Angry Birds 2 is:
adb wait-for-device backup -noapk com.rovio.baba -f “C:\angrybirds2.ab”
This will place the backup file at the root of your C drive. To restore a backup, use the “restore” keyword (the link I mention above talks about the finer points of adb).
And yes, that is not a typo, “com.rovio.baba” is the internal name of AB2 on Android.
If you are playing AB2 on an Apple product (iOS) then I don’t know how to do a game-for-game transfer. That’s why I like Epic — I play it on Android, iOS, and via BlueStacks and have never had an issue with sync’d progress. And with Go!, I lost all my progress at some point but Rovio restored a cloud backup within one day for me. But for Star Wars, Star Wars 2, Rio, Bad Piggies, Seasons, Space, and AB2, I am on my own for backups (Seasons might backup some things in the cloud these days, not sure).
Thanks,
