Small script to auto-backupt savegame files from DARKSOULS REMASTERED
So I decided to finish and publish my tool to automatic backup your DARKSOULS savegame files. Its easy to use:
- Download and decompress the script anywhere, your Desktop for example
- Open the script with any text editor (notepad, sublimetext, etc...)
- You will see, at the very top of the file, some variables you must edit, you need to specify your current SAVEGAME-DIRECTORY (mine is located in the Documents folder, under the NBGI sub-folder)
- You can also edit how many backup files do you want to hold, and the time between the tool will make a new backup (current every 3 minutes and 25 backups)
- Save the file and execute it!
- If the game is not running, the script will auto-launch darksouls, will wait 30 seconds before it starts to make backups.
- You can check if the script is running because you will find new/additional savegames in your SAVEGAME-DIRECTORY (like in the image of this readme)
- After you exit or close DARKSOULS, the script will terminate its execution
- Close DARKSOULS as fast as you can after you got hacked
- Go to your SAVEGAME-DIRECTORY, you will see like 25 backups.
- Pick the one, use the modified date time info to choose the latest backups before the hacker invaded you
- Rename the backup and restore it with the original name DRAKS0005.sl2, play again
- Remember to execute this backup-tool again
- Sheeeeeeeet! :(
- Try to use your Windows Shadow Copies to restore an older backup
- Start using this tool now to avoid this happens again.
