Comment (by antoniou79):

 I am not sure I quite understand the issue.
 Can you clarify a few things for us?

 - Which version of ScummVM Android are you running?
 - What is, step by step, the use case you are attempting?

 ScummVM Android supports Cloud saves, as long as you set a Cloud storage
 from the Global Options, and also has the LAN server feature so you can
 backup your saves quickly to another device on your local network.

 But if you save to an external physical storage (SD card or USB), you
 should be able to access these saved games on another device, or the same
 device (after a ScummVM reinstall or, say, a factory reset) as long as you
 set up again the SAF access as needed by Android for external storage.

 Backing up your config file (so you can "save" your added games list) is a
 bit trickier and not automated. One reason for this is that the Android
 config file is not supposed to be portable and could not be compatible
 even with other Android devices due to how the file system and paths work
 on this OS.
