Swapping to Back-Up 3DS Data on different SD card - Specifically Animal Crossing New Leaf
I use the digital version of ACNL and approximately 6 months ago, I backed up my 3DS SD card (which I think includes the ACNL save data).
I was wondering what would happen if I put my back-up data on a new SD card and put that in my 3DS... would my animal crossing data continue from where it was backed up 6 months ago? or would it screw things up? (this is assuming the same Club Nintendo account is still registered, thus validating both sets of data).
Thanks.

How do I transfer 3DS data from one SD card to another?
Insert the SD Card with the Nintendo 3DS data into the SD Card Slot or the SD Card reader/writer. Open Windows Explorer (for PC) or Finder (for Mac) and access the SD Card. Highlight the data and drag it to the desktop. If performed as part of a system transfer, drag all folders to the desktop as they appear.Can you transfer Animal Crossing New Leaf data?

You can not have multiple save files of individual towns on the same 3DS system. Every time you save your game it generates a new, random "Save ID" and stores that ID in both the SD/Savegame and the 3DS's system memory.How to Hack ACNL on 3DS 2020
