EZ Auto Backup is a save file backup managing tool and was originally made for Elden Ring with autohotkey.
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.
If you have any requests, suggestions, found some bugs or need any help, feel free to join the Discord.
You can also support me through Patreon, if you like my work.
Please download the newest version from the NexusMods Modding Tools section.

Important
- You may have to disable steam cloud and exit the game first before loading a backup!
- In "The Last of Us" the save mechanic is quite unusual, the game will only write in temporary save files first, until the game is paused. Then it will write them into the actual save files.
When you hear a sound notification in game, it means an auto saves was created, so you only have to pause the game to create the auto backup. - Alternatively you can enable "Auto pause for backup" then EZAB will auto pause and resume for the backup.

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.
- This tool can only backup the last auto save in game and not creating individual save states, but in a souls game it's kinda possible, when you quit the game, then after reloading it creates a new autosave, from which you could manual backup, it's like having a custom "save state".
- For optimal use place ERAB on a second monitor to have an overview of the auto backups.
- 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"
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.
