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)
