- Permissions and credits
- Donations
It can create backups of the save file each time the game saves or with an intervall. This is very usefull for the souls genre after you died, just return to the title screen and restore one of the last save backup. You can also just manually create backups before a boss fights or your favorite game sections to restore them any time. This will also help to prevent currupted save files which may happens, so you don't lose all your playing hours.
See it as an easy mode for the souls like genre with a lesser rage factor ;)

Important:
EZAB is flagged by many antivirus software as a false positive! So you have to allow or white-list both .exe files.
If you have a problem with it, then please don't use it since I can't do anything about it.

Notes
- Before restoring a backup, depending on the game you have to either return to the title screen or exit the game first!
- Quick backup will always overwrite the "Quickbackup" file in the backup folder, to create seperate backups use a custom hotkey for manual backup instead.
- Auto backups will be created after the max amount is reached, then the oldest will be replaced. If you want to create permanent backups then either rename the auto backup file in the list, or use the "Manual backup" function (F3 by default). They are named after the current used profile.
- You can use your own notification sounds by replacing the existing ones in the ERAB folder.
- Screenshots may be inaccurate, but it should help to manage your the backup files.
- When you see a status overlay in the middle of the screen then press ctrl+alt+m for repositioning. To disable it go to "Settings > EZAB Settings > Misc > Use EZAB status overlay"
- Which backup method to choose?
- For games which saves often you can just use the auto backup either with or without the "Instant" option with an interval timer.
- Otherwise the "instant" with an interval of 0 is highly recommended. That means a backup will isntantly created with each in game auto saves.
Installation
- Unpack EZAB
- Start ERAB.exe, when launched for the first time, EZAB will ask you to create a new profile.
- Select a game from the list.
- Click "Create Profile" and choose the required save file and backup folders
- Enter a name for your profile to finish the profile creation process.
- Go to settings if you want to change the auto backup method or change some options. Auto backup every x min is the default method, you can also choose "Instant" where an backup is created directly after the game auto saves if the intervall is set to 0, otherwise it will only instantly save after the timer has expired.
- Start the game of your profile in order to use any backup functions. You can also only use the hotkeys for manually backups, or macro functions without starting auto backup.
