How to start a new game in AC Unity/Syndicate without losing your previous save [All Platforms]

Seeing as we reach Unity in the Marathon now, posting this guide seemed like a good idea.

PC

1. Disable Cloud Saves in Uplay (Settings -> General, then untick "Enable Cloud Save Synchronization for supported games")

2. Find your savegame:
Save game location 32-bit Windows:
%PROGRAMFILES%\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\

Save game location 64-bit Windows:
%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\
(You can press Win+R and simply copy+paste the string there).
You'll see a single folder with a long name. This is your User ID. Open the folder.
Inside the folder you'll find a number of folders with different numbers.
For Unity, savegames can be folders with the following number: 720, 857, 944 or 945.
For Syndicate it should be either 1875 or 1957.

3. Make a backup of this folder and then delete it.
4. Start AC Unity/Syndicate and play at least until it saves.

Now you have two options. Re-enable cloud saves and let your local save overwrite your online save and then repeat the whole process above when you want your previous save back. Or let cloud saves disabled and re-enable them when you want your old save back. When you re-enable cloud saves, you will get a screen similar to this one. In this case using the cloud save would restore my old save. Selecting the local save will replace the cloud save with it (and you'll have to manually turn it back).
