Our verdict on Save Keeper

Save Keeper is an open-source save backup manager for modded PS Vita and PS TV systems. It is designed for players who need recoverable copies of Vita, PSP/Adrenaline, and selected homebrew saves. The application creates timestamped ZIP backups, stores them locally, and lets users keep multiple copies per game. Its Vita, Homebrew, and PSP tabs display games with titles and icons, while custom labels make individual backups easier to identify.

Its strongest feature is the combination of version history and overwrite protection. Users can download backups, restore older saves manually, and automatically create a backup of the current save before an overwrite during restoration. Whole-tab backup and upload actions support broader save-management tasks, while configurable homebrew savedata paths provide more control over where supported homebrew data is handled. This makes Save Keeper particularly useful when an older save matters more than a single latest copy.

Google Drive is the product’s listed integration. Backups can be uploaded to the user’s Drive, downloaded for restoration, and synchronized between multiple Vita or PS TV devices. The setup is specific: Save Keeper requires a HENkaku-enabled Vita or PS TV, VitaShell, and a Google account. Restore operations remain manual, and the scope centers on Vita, PSP/Adrenaline, and selected homebrew saves rather than broader game-save platforms. Choose Save Keeper for focused recovery and synchronization on supported systems; choose another tool if you need automatic restoration or coverage beyond this ecosystem.
