What is Ludusavi?
Ludusavi is an open-source backup tool specifically designed to back up game saves, settings and configuration files from PC games. It works with many popular games and provides an easy way to back up your progress without having to worry about managing files or folders.
The special thing about Ludusavi is that it extracts the game saves directly from the game directories, which means you don't have to find the files yourself or back them up manually. All you have to do is set up the tool once and it will do the rest for you!
With Ludusavi, you can not only back up game saves and settings from locally installed games, but also from cloud services such as Steam, GOG, Epic Games, Heroic and Lutris. This means that you can save your progress from a variety of platforms in a central backup. Whether you have installed a game locally or are playing it via one of the major platforms, Ludusavi ensures that no important data is lost. In addition, you can exclude specific providers from the backup if, for example, you only want to back up game saves from Steam and do not want other platforms to be included in the backup. This gives you full control over which data is backed up.
