About this mod
A very small batch file that facilitates save backup process.
- Permissions and credits
It happens that I mess around with my Skyrim so much that I need to be 100% sure I have my saves backed up. This tool makes save backup process dead simple.
Installation consists of 2 steps:
1. Unpack the archive contents on your PC (location is irrelevant).
2. Manually edit the bat file, replacing the text SKYRIMSAVES with your Skyrim savegame folder:
In case of default Skyrim installation on Vista and Windows 7, the last line in bat file would look like this:
7z.exe a -x!*.7z -x!*.bak "C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves\%NAME%" "C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves\*.*"
In case of Windows XP:
7z.exe a -x!*.7z -x!*.bak "C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves\%NAME%" "C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves\*.*"
Of course, also make sure to replace [Username] with your actual user name.
Now, every time this file is ran all saves are archived to a file named SaveBackup_currentdate_currenttime.7z.
BAK files are not archived as it's unnecessary.
This utility cannot be simpler but of course I cannot be held responsible if things go awry on your end.
Happy saving!
