ABOUT:
This is a GUI based program to handle automatic save backups for DS2. Supports custom save/backup directories, backup file management, multiple save files, custom update frequency, instant restore, and more!
I created this program primarily for myself. I have been using other programs, but have wanted a program with a GUI interface that has a few more elaborate features than simply copying files from one directory to another. As such, I made this. But there is no point in me hording it, so I'm sharing it with everyone else :)
FEATURES:
Compared to other DS2 save backup programs, this has all of the standard plus a few unique features:
- GUI!
- Automatic save directory detection
- Customizable backup frequency (in minutes)
- Backup file size tracking
- Easy way to manually clear out all existing backups
- Optional automatic cleanup of old backups (in terms of number of backups kept - option to keep under a file size coming soon)
- Support for multiple save files
- Instant backup option when you need a quick backup
- Instant restore option, which will replace your saves with your most recent backups
USE:
The program is a single .exe file. After opening the program, you will be presented with a screen where you can customize your settings.
- Save Directory - navigate to your desired save directory. This SHOULD automatically detect your save directory, but if it does not you can easily browse for it.
- Backup Directory - this defaults to a Backup folder in the Save Directory. Obviously, you can customize it to whatever you want easily. Empty with the empty button.
- Backup Frequency - how many minutes a backup is created
- Delete Frequency - if you wish to manage your backup directory, you can do so here. By default, no backup files will be deleted, but you can choose to keep a certain number of the most recent backups.
- Activate - start backing up!
- Deactivate - stop backing up!
- Backup Now - create a backup file instantly
- Restore - replace your save file with the most recent backup
BUGS AND FEATURE REQUESTS:
If you come across any bugs or have a request for a feature, feel free to comment on this page, or more directly you can email me at [email protected]
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Trying to either copy or restore the save file while it is being saved may display an unhandled exception error - this isn't a problem and you can ignore it. I will try and hide that.
NOTE: DARK SOULS 1 SUPPORT:
This program does work with DS1 as well. You will have to manually navigate to the save directory however. For some unknown reason it can get a bit wonky and generate more save files than it should but the program still functions fine. I'm investigating it and will try to clean it up.
