Automatically backs up your saves when loading the game and every night when you sleep.
Compatible with Stardew Valley 1.5+ on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Requires SMAPI 3.0 or later.
Install
Usage
Your saves will be backed up automatically before you play and each in-game night.
Here's how to find your save backups:
To edit where your nightly and preplay saves back up to open up the config file in version 1.8.0+ and find the appropriate fields. Make sure the entire path is surrounded by quotes.
It's recommended to use "/" slashes to separate your path ESPECIALLY if you are on a windows machine. Otherwise separate your path using double "\\"
If you type in a path that doesn't exist then the mod should create that directory at that path for you.
