Question about save file locations

[Mumi]

I just recently upgraded my rig but I realized too late that I might have forgotten to back up my save files for NieR Automata since it required a reformat.

From searching around, the save files for the game are supposed to be in the Documents folder but I want to know if the save files are also stored in the Steam folder, since that was one of the few folders that I remembered to back up before the reformat.

Thanks for any help.

Locally, the saves are only stored in the Documents\My Games\NieRAutomata folder.

The game uses Steam Cloud as well, so if you've had that enabled the saves should automatically download itself to the above folder after redownloading the game on Steam.
