Ludusavi is a cross-platform backup utility created by developer mtkennerly that focuses exclusively on preserving PC game-save data; currently at release 0.31.0, the application has evolved through twenty-four numbered versions since its inception, reflecting steady refinement and expanding support for new titles. Written in Rust, the open-source tool parses the open-access PCGamingWiki “Save Game Location” table to locate save files, configuration folders, and registry entries for thousands of Windows, Linux, and macOS games, then compresses them into a single, time-stamped backup that can be restored with one click. Typical use cases include safeguarding progress before reformating a drive, migrating saves to a new computer, synchronizing data between dual-boot systems, or simply creating versioned archives that allow players to roll back to an earlier game state. Because it operates independently of any storefront, Ludusavi captures saves from Steam, Epic, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, EA app, Battle.net, and standalone installations alike, while optional command-line flags enable automated scheduling, cloud upload, or integration with larger backup scripts. The interface offers both a graphical mode for interactive selection and a headless mode for background tasks, and manifests can be exported as JSON for diffing or auditing. The program occupies only a few megabytes, requires no elevated privileges, and keeps no background services running, making it a lightweight addition to any gaming rig. 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.
