	local backpack = Instance.new("Folder")
	backpack.Name = "Backpack"
	backpack.Parent = inventory
	
	local equippedBackpack = Instance.new("StringValue")
	equippedBackpack.Name = "EquippedBackpack"
	equippedBackpack.Parent = inventory 
	
	DataFolder.Parent = ServerStorage.PlayersData
	
	local backpackData
	local equippedBackpackData
	
	pcall(function()
		backpackData = invenData:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Backpacks")
	end)
	
	pcall(function()
		equippedBackpackData = invenData:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-EquippedBackpackValue")
	end)
	
	if backpackData then
		
		for _,Backpack in pairs(backpackData) do
			if ServerStorage.Backpacks:FindFirstChild(Backpack) then
				local backpackClone = ServerStorage.Backpacks[Backpack]:Clone()
				backpackClone.Parent = backpack
				print(Backpack.." loaded in!")
			end
		end
		
		if equippedBackpackData then
			equippedBackpack.Value = equippedBackpackData
			local backpackClone = backpack:FindFirstChild(equippedBackpackData)
			backpackClone.Name = "Backpack"
			backpackClone.Parent = Player.Character
		end
	else
		print("No backpacks data")
		local starterbackpack = ServerStorage.Backpacks["Starter Backpack"]:Clone()
		starterbackpack.Name = "Backpack"

		itemValue.Name = "Starter Backpack"
		itemValue.Parent = backpack
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	
	pcall(function()
		local backpacks = ServerStorage.PlayersData[Player.Name].Inventory.Backpacks:GetChildren()
		local backpacksTable = {}
		
		for _,v in pairs(backpacks) do
			table.insert(backpacksTable,v.Name)
		end
		
		invenData:SetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Backpacks",backpacksTable)
		
		if ServerStorage.PlayersData[Player.name].Inventory.EquippedBackpack.Value ~= nil then
			local EquippedBackpack = ServerStorage.PlayersData[Player.Name].Inventory.EquippedBackpack
			invenData:SetAsync(Player.UserId.."-EquippedBackpackValue",EquippedBackpack.Value)
		end	
	end)
	
	print("Saved backpacks")
end)

Since everything is wrapped in a pcall, even if there is an error, it will not print.

#3

so why the item will not save then?

#4

Try removing the pcall wrappers and seeing the error it prints out.

#5

it only saved the EquippedItem the backpack wont be save

#6

If your testing it in Studio, try turning on Studio access to HTTP and API under settings.

This is a quote from the Dev hub article about datastores:

If desired, data stores can be enabled in Studio as follows:

  1. From the Home tab, open the Game Settings window.
  2. In the Options section, turn on Enable Studio Access to API Services .
  3. Click Save to register your changes

Also, you can’t save Instances to a datastore.

i turned on already and where did i save instant

#8

Try running it, but removing the pcalls so if there is an error, you can see what it is.
