you should have made regular backups of your save files
the Uplay Cloud saves can sometimes not function correctly . my advice shut off that option in the Uplay settings and keep it off and make your own manual backups

if you shut off the Cloud settings ...
You can replay missions and have multiple save files . its not that hard to do .
what i do is right when you start the mission your on and the mission name is displayed on my screen , is Alt tab out of the game
go to my C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 856
make a new folder in there with the name of the mission like , Dont_look_down or A_darkPlace or death_fromAbove
then copy and paste that 856 folder into
to replay that mission i copy and paste that 856 folder back to
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 856
(you can also copy them to a USB thumb drive and copy them back and forth)
you can create multiple saves this way ... and replay any mission , i made backups of every mission in the game, so i can replay them with differnt weapons and loadouts.
(you can also play both sides of the Balance of Power missions by doing this , as the missions from Sabal are Differnt then what you get from Amita)
each save consists of 4 small files
1.save
1.save.upload
2.save
2.save.upload
one is an auto save the other is a user created save point, the other ones are upload files that save to the cloud ,and it will always make those .upload files even if you shut off the cloud save option in Uplay settings

or use Akunamatta's guide and use a bat file

the steam version of the game saves your game to
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 856
the Uplay only version they are in
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 420
you do have to shut off the Uplay Cloud save option in the Uplay client settings .. but you should do this anyway, as it can create problems with a corrupted cloud save (it happened to me with FarCry 3 years ago and i had to delete my saved games and start the game all over , was the only way to fix it )
