Back up or transfer profile?

I'm on emuNAND on a hidden partition, and I've decided I want to convert to a file-based one (to make it easier to backup and whatnot).

This will, of course, necessitate formatting the memory card . . . so I'd like to transfer what I can from the old system.

I know I can backup save files using Checkpoint. Two questions:

1) Is there a way to backup or transfer a User/Profile settings (the nickname and icon)?

2) Are save games backed up and restored in Checkpoint tied to a specific User? (If the answer to #1 is "no," and I need to try to recreate my old Username/icon, will Checkpoint let me copy backed-up save files to that new account?)

I am not sure about the first question. Sorry. For the second one you should be able to restore the saves under any user or even on another Switch that is hackable.

There is a post on here where someone mentioned a way to view the hidden partition, but I cannot find it at the moment.
