Hi. I am trying to backup my save files from wii games and, after that, delete my NAND (from NUS downloader) because i'm having lots of crashes on wii menu. How to backup the save files and how to erase all the NAND?
The error i meant you can view here:

There are two main ways to backup your Wii save files from Dolphin:

1. Right-click each game and select "Export Wii save (Experimental)". (Despite the name, it's not really experimental anymore.) When you want to import them again, use Tools > Import Wii Save.

2. Go through Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\titles\, and copy every folder that's named "data". (The folders that are named "content" contain the games themselves, or in the case of disc games, just the TMD.) I've forgotten how DLC is stored, so if you have any DLC, I don't know if it'll be included in the backup or not.

To delete the NAND afterwards, you can delete the contents of the Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\ folder manually.

Thanks for the help! BTW, when i select "Export Wii save (Experimental)", what folder the backup will go?

It'll be placed in a separate folder called "private" in the Dolphin Emulator folder. (The exact subfolder it ends up in will match the structure you would get if you used the Wii Menu to export save files to an SD card.)

All DLC titles have 00010005 as the title type (the first half of the title ID). But I recommend NOT saving the NAND structure for DLC manually; rather, you should reinstall them via recent versions of Dolphin or emulated software. If your NAND was broken by old versions, and you save and restore the old broken structure, then your new NAND will still be broken.

Thanks for the help. I got no DLC or Channels that need backup so, if i make a backup and restore only the save data, the NAND will continue to be broken?

Looks like something is still wrong with your NAND. Can you post the directory tree of the emulated Wii NAND, starting from the NAND root (<path to Dolphin profile>/Wii/)?
