# Archive - Mocha - Online Exploit !> **THIS METHOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED** **CURRENT METHOD IS AVAILABLE [HERE](../../../introduction)** ## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore} In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it. ### Instructions {docsify-ignore} ?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks. ?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills.
However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it.
Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work. 1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app. 1. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration: - Dump SLC: **yes** - Dump SLCCMPT: **yes** - Dump MLC: **optional** - Dump OTP: **yes** - Dump SEEPROM: **yes** 1. Press the A button to start the dumping process. 1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC. 1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer. 1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.
