Dark Souls II GUI-based Auto Save Backup

UPDATES: v1. 1 (7/1/2014) - app will now save preferences (save directory, backup directory, update and delete frequency) so you don't have to change them every time the app loads

This is a GUI based program to handle automatic save backups for DS2. Supports custom save/backup directories, backup file management, multiple save files, custom update frequency, instant restore, and more!

I created this program primarily for myself. I have been using other programs, but have wanted a program with a GUI interface that has a few more elaborate features than simply copying files from one directory to another. As such, I made this. But there is no point in me hording it, so I'm sharing it with everyone else :)

Compared to other DS2 save backup programs, this has all of the standard plus a few unique features:

• GUI!
• Automatic save directory detection
• Customizable backup frequency (in minutes)
• Backup file size tracking
• Easy way to manually clear out all existing backups
• Optional automatic cleanup of old backups (in terms of number of backups kept - option to keep under a file size coming soon)
• Support for multiple save files
• Instant backup option when you need a quick backup
• Instant restore option, which will replace your saves with your most recent backups

The program is a single .exe file. After opening the program, you will be presented with a screen where you can customize your settings.

• Save Directory - navigate to your desired save directory. This SHOULD automatically detect your save directory, but if it does not you can easily browse for it.
• Backup Directory - this defaults to a Backup folder in the Save Directory. Obviously, you can customize it to whatever you want easily. Empty with the empty button.
• Backup Frequency - how many minutes a backup is created
• Delete Frequency - if you wish to manage your backup directory, you can do so here. By default, no backup files will be deleted, but you can choose to keep a certain number of the most recent backups.
• Activate - start backing up!
• Deactivate - stop backing up!
• Backup Now - create a backup file instantly
• Restore - replace your save file with the most recent backup

BUGS AND FEATURE REQUESTS:

If you come across any bugs or have a request for a feature, feel free to comment on this page, or more directly you can email me at mjmeli94@gmail.com

KNOWN ISSUES: - Trying to either copy or restore the save file while it is being saved may display an unhandled exception error - this isn't a problem and you can ignore it. I will try and hide that.

This program does work w
