Checkpoint64
What it is
Checkpoint64 backs up PC game save folders to the cloud and lets users browse and restore earlier versions. It checks watched folders every 60 seconds and uploads changed files after a game finishes writing; each upload creates a version. It supports games from Steam, GOG and Epic, as well as emulators and modded setups. The features page lists presets for more than 140 games and seven emulators, including RetroArch, Dolphin, PCSX2, DuckStation, PPSSPP, RPCS3 and Cemu. For shared saves, only the person holding a lock can upload. Locks expire, and a teammate taking over receives a warning and logbook entry. Discord linking can send teammates direct messages about manual commits or restores. The free plan includes 20 MiB of cloud storage per space and does not expire. Pro costs €5 a month, and Lifetime costs €10, paid once. Files are encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256, but the service is not end-to-end encrypted or zero-knowledge. It is listed for Windows 10 and 11, macOS on Apple Silicon and Linux.
