📋 About This Mod
The manager will do the following:
-
[] Will backup your save file to your chosen destination (currently defaults to Desktop)
[
] Copy the ER Save file over to the new location adding a timestamp allowing for multiple backups[] When Restoring, currently only restores the latest save file
Future plans to include
- [] Auto save every x amount of time
- Allow to backup and restore from a selection of games (Will base around the FromSoft collection)
Currently requires the included .dll file to exist alongside the program, chosen to have this requirement for a pretty folder selector when choosing save location.
If there are any issues, please let me know, and I will work on fixing it ASAP
