This is interesting but I’m a little confused on the use case, as your normal backups of the system would include all your game saves anyways…
You can backup to a cloud provider to have cloud syncing between systems, similar to Steam’s. Also, most people do not backup their systems.
You’re assuming that everyone wants to back up their system though. On my gaming PC, I would literally want just this, I couldn’t care less about everything else. For me this would be useful. Would also be nice for my Steam Deck for my GOG games.
It didn’t occur to me that people would have a dedicated PC only used for gaming lol, that’s an expensive way to do it.
Its pretty common to have a gaming PC and a work laptop.
Oh I do too, just everything is synched between them because I hate working on a laptop for very long.
Is your work laptop owned by you? That I would definitely understand. Mine is owned by my organization and I want nothing personal on it ever as a result. I like how I can compartmentalize work from entertainment that way.
Yeah it is. How do you manage your personal stuff like banking and everything if not on the PC?
Almost all my banking is done from my phone. It’s rare I need to sit in front of my PC to do so. But that also doesn’t need backed up, it’s all web accessible. I do download all my bank, credit card, and loan statements monthly, but I store all of that in my Proton Drive, nothing remains on my PC. I call it my gaming PC because that’s what it’s for 90% of the time, but I do use it for personal stuff too. That doesn’t really change the fact that literally nothing needs backed up aside from game saves.
I wish ludusavi could handle game mods too, as a lot of games I play use mods (like stardew). Mods are essential for the saves there
Mod management is orders of magnitude more complex in comparison to managing some save files.
That’s kind of why there is no one mod manager that deals with every game ever.
Just use timeshift
Why? That has completely different goals than this app. What is the point in backing up my entire Steam Deck and Gaming PC when I could have an app that’s backs up just the parts I care about and syncs between them?
