I wanted to make a DataStore for tools. There are no errors whatsoever. Every number I print is printed in the output but the tools I was expecting isn't coming up.

01local dss = game:GetService('DataStoreService')
02local backpackds = dss:GetDataStore('BackpackStore')
03local equipped = nil
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
05    local backpack = plr.Backpack
06    local data = backpackds:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
07    if data then
08        for i, _ in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do
09            _:Destroy()
10        end
11        print(0) 
12        for i,_ in pairs(data) do
13            print(12)
14            if game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('Tools'):FindFirstChild(_) then
15                print(1)
16                local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools[_]
17                local clonedver = tool:Clone()
18                clonedver = backpack
19                print(2)
20            end
21        end
22    end
23    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(c)
24        c.ChildAdded:Connect(function(_)
25            if _:IsA('Tool') then
26                equipped = _
27            end
28 
29        end)
30 
31    end)
32end)
33 
34game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
35 
36    local backpack = plr.Backpack
37    local data = {}
38    for i, v in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do
39        table.insert(data,v.Name)
40    end
41    if equipped then
42 
43        table.insert(data,equipped.Name)
44 
45    end
46    local success, msg = pcall(function()
47        backpackds:SetAsync(plr.UserId,data)
48    end)
49 
50    if not success then
51        print('Error:',msg)
52    else
53        print('Saved Backpack for player',plr.Name)
54    end
55end)

I check the table in the DataStore plugin and it should've worked.

I deleted all tools since it was the starter tools.

I probably did something wrong getting the data but I don't know what...

Any suggestion/help is appreciated!
