I'm playing Torchlight 2 and want to backup my save but I don't know where to find the savegame folder. Under Windows, it was something like C:\Documents\My Games\, etc.
I found this webpage: https://savelocation.net/torchlight2 – but it doesn't help me because it only lists the save folder for the Steam version. I use GOG and not Steam.
It is unfortunate that you have to play two different characters on those computers, however if you are happy with this to be the solution, all you need to do is the following:
Right click on Torchlight II in your games list and select Properties
On the Updates tab, you will find a setting for disabling Steam Cloud (The Steam synchronization service)
It is your choice whether you want to disable Steam Cloud on both (Just follow those steps on the other computer). If you leave it enabled on one computer, you will have that game data safely backed up on Steam's Servers.
First back up your game data
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2saves folder to somewhere else and keep until certain that the game works.If Steam Cloud conflicts when you re-enable it, tell steam to not copy either files:
Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2\save in Windows Explorer and open the folder which is made up on random numbers (#################).
Add your other character file in there and then tell Steam Cloud to force your local files onto Steam Cloud.
Disclaimer: I have not tried this and have posted this answer entirely based on my theoretical understanding of this game. I cannot verify that this method will work. You should back up your game data first in case anything goes wrong or something breaks.
The sharedstash.bin file cannot be merged with another (to my knowledge), so that will not be able to be copied over. The character stash is saved in the character file, so that will remain intact.
Navigate to where you backed up your saves folder.
Delete the saves folder in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2 and then paste in your backup copy.
You can then either try again, try a different method or just choose to keep one set of game data.
Assuming Windows 7 or Vista, the save folder should be located in:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2\save\
For Windows XP it is located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\My Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2\save\

Sorry, with my current reputation I can't add a comment under your question, so if you already did what I will mention now, I will delete this answer.
Did you have a look at this? Someone wanted to transfer his Windows save file(s) to the Linux version and wrote that it worked when he put them into
~/.local/share/Runic Games/Torchlight 2/save/.If that did not work then according to this post you could look into the
~/.config/unity3d/folder.If it is not there either, you could try out a search program, like catfish, and search for the name "save".
