Savefile Backup (Linux)

This is a port of Simple Save Backup Script for any Linux distro that has Bash installed. The script simply copies Steam's userdata to a backup directory. That's it.

Installation

Edit the `save_backup` script to modify `BackupDir`, and `UserID` to match your own setup. `UserID` is the same as your Steam friend code. Steam uses that alongside the game's store code (already provided) to store your save. You can get that by navigating to 'Friend' > 'Add a friend' in the Steam client. If you've installed Steam through Flatpak, `SteamUserDir` will also need modification.

Copy the script to the game's installation directory. For reference, the script should be in the same directory as `MonsterHunterWilds.exe`. Make sure the script is executable. Once you've set the script up, we add it to the Steam game's launch options. Assuming you've done all of the above as explained:

bash -e "./save_backup"; %command%

Will run the script every time you launch the game. Additional programs like gamescope can be added after the ";".
