How to backup Terraria characters
Backing up your Terraria characters is super simple and a good idea to avoid losing all your hard-earned progress! Just navigate to your Terraria folder (usually found in 'Documents\My Games\Terraria' on Windows). Inside, you'll find the 'Players' folder. Copy this folder and save it somewhere safe, like an external hard drive or a cloud storage service. Voila, your characters are now backed up and secure!
