Ludusavi is an open-source backup utility developed by mtkennerly that focuses exclusively on preserving PC game save data, positioning itself in the Gaming Tools category. Version 0.30.0, released after 23 incremental updates since the project’s inception, scans a computer to detect titles from multiple storefronts—Steam, Epic, GOG, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and standalone installs—then creates compressed snapshots of their corresponding save folders and registry entries. The software consults the community-maintained PCGamingWiki database in real time, so it recognizes thousands of games and automatically adapts to developers’ shifting save locations without requiring user intervention. Typical use cases include safeguarding progress before formatting a drive, migrating saves to a new PC, synchronizing data between dual-boot systems, or creating hourly incremental backups that can be rolled back after a corrupted checkpoint. Advanced users can launch the application through command-line flags for unattended nightly exports, filter by platform or genre, or integrate it with cloud folders to achieve continuous off-site protection. Because Ludusavi stores backups in a plain JSON manifest alongside uncompressed archives, restoring an individual save or an entire library can be achieved with a single click, even if the original game is reinstalled years later. The lightweight binary consumes minimal RAM, supports both GUI and CLI modes, and is fully portable, allowing it to run from a USB stick without installation. Ludusavi is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
