game-saves-backup

A simple python script to backup those save files and never lose your precious progress again!

Features

• Your current save file once backed up will not overwrite your latest backup.
• This way you will have your latest + one most recent backup (2 backups).

Usage

• Add your games to the games_list.txt in following pattern:
  "game_name">"game_path"

Example

"spiderman">"C:\Users\copyninja17\OneDrive\Documents\Marvel's SpiderMan Remastered"
"cities_skylines">"C:\Users\copyninja17\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines"
"elden_ring">"C:\Users\copyninja17\AppData\Roaming\EldenRing"

• Configure your backup folder's path and games list path in settings.conf
• Run the script by running game-saves-backup.py or get the latest windows executable from Releases
• Alternatively you can compile your own executable by running the following command:

pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile \path\to\game-saves-backup.py

• The executable can be found in dist folder. Move it to main script's folder and run it

DOs and DON'Ts

• Double quotes are not necessary but highly recommended.
• DO NOT USE SINGLE QUOTES (') AROUND THE PATH
• Single quotes present in game's name are okay (Example: Marvel's Spiderman)

Tips

• You can use Windows Task Scheduler to run this script periodically.
