Game distribution platforms such as Steam and Origin often store your saves in the cloud, but this is not the case for all titles. In any case, having multiple backups to rely on is never a bad thing.

Game Backup Monitor is a nifty piece of software that can provide gamers with a fail-safe in case they ever lose saves stored locally or in the cloud. It can track your playing time and create multiple backups for each game.

The setup process is far from complex, and the application can get you started on the right track by providing you with a fairly extensive official game list. Once added to the database, these titles will be detected automatically when executed, and no additional configurations should be required.

Naturally, the games you wish to monitor may not be included in this list, in which case you can take advantage of the intuitive wizard designed to help you add new games in an effortless manner.

While this program can certainly be used to backup data files created by any application, it was mostly designed with gamers in mind. It even tracks your playing time, making it a great solution for those who wish to monitor games that are not sold through one of the popular digital distribution platforms.

The built-in Game Manager enables you to keep track of all your titles, set up useful file filters and restore data whenever necessary. You can also assign tags to each entry, customize the compression level and have the application verify backups after they have been created.

You can even store save data in the cloud by relying on a service that comes with a folder synchronization client, but it would have been great if the application were integrated with hosting platforms like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Once you have added your games and completed any necessary configurations, you can just start playing and let the program take care of the rest. Backups are created automatically when a gaming session ends, and every action is recorded in the log.

The application runs quietly in the system tray, and its minimal resource impact should not be of concern to gamers who wish to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their rigs.

On the whole, Game Backup Monitor is a great utility for gamers who want to ensure their saves are not lost under any circumstance. It is lightweight, unobtrusive and easy to configure, which is why we highly recommend it to users who are looking for an alternative save game backup solution. You can download both the installer and portable editions from this page.
