Our verdict on Ludusavi

Ludusavi is a free, open-source desktop tool for backing up and restoring PC video-game saves across Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports multiple game stores and libraries, including Steam, GOG, Epic, Heroic, and Lutris. Its coverage includes file-based saves, Windows registry data, Steam Proton saves, and Steam screenshots, making it suited to players managing saves across different launchers, systems, or storage setups. Both graphical and command-line interfaces are available, and custom game entries can extend its coverage.

Its backup controls go beyond a single copy-and-restore workflow. Ludusavi supports full and differential backup retention, automatic backup, restore options, and backup and restore wrapping around game execution. It also provides manifest-based save-location data and can connect with Playnite. For cloud and network storage, the published integrations include Rclone, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, FTP, SMB, and WebDAV. Rclone-backed cloud backup and synchronization give the tool a flexible path to remote storage, while the combination of GUI and CLI workflows suits both occasional use and scripted operations.

The main operational consideration is automation: scheduled backups require invoking Ludusavi through an external task-automation tool rather than relying on a built-in scheduler. Cloud synchronization likewise uses Rclone or a cloud-backed folder. Users who want broad save coverage, retention, registry and Proton support, and control over local or remote backup destinations should find the feature set well aligned with those needs. Those seeking an all-in-one scheduler or cloud-sync system without external configuration may prefer a more self-contained alternative.
