WARNING:
New Dawn uses the same totally useless two file save system as Far Cry 5.
At least Odyssey has some kind of use full save game system
So my advice would be to turn off cloud save and backup very regular, if you don't want to suddenly loose all you progress in the game, as countless did in FC5.
But why oh why UBISoft have you not fixed this in the past year ?
I'm genuinely curious, so please don't take offense at my questions, but what's happening with the save games? Is this PC or xbox/ps4? I've played far cry 5 completely through 5 or 6 times and I've never thought 'man, I wish their were save slots'. Is it just you're trying to perfect something? If you fail at something, you can try again. I've just never ran into a situation were I thought I'd rather go back to a previous point in time.
You should try to look at the one of many threads for FC5 where people has lost their entire gameplay, including me, or got corrupt save files also their cloud backup:

Mine was overwritten permanently with fresh start games from the cloud.
In Odyssey it is also nice to go back and try to take a different path or do a boss fight again.
