Oliver SK.

Do you have a large games collection? You might want to consider creating a backup of your game saves. Luckily, there are some awesome backup tools that can help you to backup game saves quite easily.

GameSave Manager is a free tool that can help you to backup game saves of a lot of popular games. The software currently supports over 600 games and can backup their game saves. Yes, you can also backup save games of Minecraft and Call of Duty Black Ops. Of course, you can also backup your Minecraft worlds when you know the Minecraft saves file location , but this is a much more elegant solution!

The interface is not the best, but it is very easy to use and it gets the job done!

Tip: Make sure to run GameSave Manager with elevated admin rights so you can use the Steam Spreader feature (see below)

TOP! Upload Game Saves To FTP

Got your own FTP backup server? Great, you can use this FREE software to upload your game saves to that server. Awesome!

TOP! 7Zip Support

I was very pleased to learn that GameSave Manager supports 7zip and can compress all of your game saves. Awesome!

TOP! Scheduled Backup

You can fully automate the whole process of creating backups of your game saves, which is very handy. It’s basically a set-and-forget tool and I’m a big supporter of those apps.

TOP! Backup Validator

Are you worried that your backups might be corrupt? No worries, GameSave Manager got you covered and will validate all of your game save backups.

TOP! Move Steam Games To Another Hard Drive (e.g. SSD)

Do you want maximum performance when you play games? Well, then you need to move your Steam games onto your fastest HDD, if possible move them to a SSD (Solid State Drive) to make your games fly.

GameSave Manager includes a feature called Steam Spreader which allows you to do exactly that and move your Steam games one by one to another hard drive. This is also useful when you run out of space and you absolutely have to move some Steam games to other drives.

Overall, this is a great tool and 100% free. I am now considering to put this on our next TOP10 Windows 7 App List!
