But sometimes, your Geometry Dash cloud backup save could fail when you’re trying to sync the data. Fortunately, the dedicated fanbase and community have found several ways that should help you fix the data syncing woes.

Geometry Dash: How Can You Fix Backup Failed Error?

The cloud backup has a file size limit, and if you bypass it, the game could have a problem syncing the data. The rhythm title also has virtual memory limitations that could gimp the feature’s performance. Below are four methods that should help you fix the backup failed error in Geometry Dash.

How To Get the Music Unlocker in Geometry Dash

Delete your saved levels.
- Having too many saved levels can cause issues with your cloud backup. Open the “Create” menu and check Folder 0, try to keep less than 75 levels there.
- If you have levels you haven’t played in a long while, delete them to save space.
- Try deleting levels with too many objects since they can also bloat up your save file.
Delete songs bigger than 100MB.
- Cloud saving can also encounter errors when syncing something like True Values of Life and Snowy Roads, which take more than 30 minutes.
- Occasionally, deleting all of your saved levels and songs could work too.
Try the Refresh Login option.
- For some reason, refreshing your Geometry Dash account could fix the backup failed error. Open the “Manage Account” menu through the “Settings,” “Account,” then “More” option. Afterward, pick the “Refresh Login” selection to change your password.
Use the 4GB RAM Patch.
- The 4GB RAM patch can be found here: ntcore.com/?page_id=371. Geometry Dash is an x86 application that cannot use more than 2GB RAM even if your PC has more. With the patch, you can run Geometry Dash beyond the memory limitation. Use the patch’s .exe file and select the GeometryDash.exe afterward.
