Game Save Manager
What it is
Game Save Manager (GSM) is a Windows application for organizing, backing up, and restoring game saves. Its PCGamingWiki-powered database covers more than 14,000 save locations, and it scans game installation folders and known locations such as Registry, AppData, and Documents. GSM keeps rolling backup history, allows permanent pinned backups, and can rotate older saves automatically. Automatic backups can run on a regular interval or when save files change, and persist across app restarts. For custom games, users can add folders, files, or registry keys and use dynamic path placeholders. Save history can be exported as a .gsmr archive, then imported and merged on another PC. The maker says the app detects installations from Steam, Epic, Battle.net, and more, as well as account IDs for several services. The maker's privacy policy says the desktop app functions locally and personal files are not uploaded, stored, or analyzed on its servers. The free GitHub plan provides a Windows 64-bit installer under GPL-3.0.
