GameSaveBackup

GameSaveBackup is a handy tool for gamers. While platforms like Steam and Origin usually keep your game saves in the cloud, not every game supports this feature. Plus, if you're playing a DRM-free game, those saves are often stored right on your device.

What Does GameSaveBackup Do?

This open-source app lets you back up files from one folder to another location, including cloud storage. If you ever need to restore your saves, it's super simple!

How Does It Work?

The program watches specific folders—typically where your game saves are—and copies new files to a different spot. You can even send these files to services like Dropbox or Google Drive for extra safety.

Automatic Monitoring

GameSaveBackup automatically keeps an eye on those source folders and will copy any new files to your chosen destination. It checks when a file was last modified, so you'll get a heads-up if you're about to overwrite something newer.

Setting Up Your Games

If you want to add games, you'll need to open up the configuration file in a text editor and type in their paths yourself. You can decide whether backups run automatically or only when you ask them to. Plus, there's an option to ignore certain entries or types of files if needed.

User-Friendly Management

I get it; this setup might be tricky for less experienced users. But once everything's set up, managing your games is pretty straightforward through the system tray menu.

A Great Backup Solution

GameSaveBackup is definitely worth considering if you're looking for a backup option that won't get in the way while you play. Just keep in mind that setting it up requires some manual editing of that configuration file.
