Download SaveGameBackup.net 1.0.1.0

SaveGameBackup.net is a program with which a backup can be made of the savegames of the various games present on a Windows PC. This is especially useful when a drive is being reformatted. Savegames are stored in many different places on the computer and that is always a lot of searching. Backups can be moved to another location on the computer, the network, or even to a cloud service such as Dropbox. The download is only 1MB in size, but the program does require version 4 of the .Net Framework. Below you will find everything that has changed since the first public release.

Public Release 1.0.1.0:

• Changed database update to use new link.
• Changed database auto-update name. This option will need to be re-enabled if you were using it before.
• Added option: Check for application update. This option is found on the top right of the interface with the version info.
• Added option: Do not overwrite backups. By default, SGB.net will overwrite old archives. Enabling this option will append (1), (2), etc. to the file names so they are no longer overwritten.
• Removed “Last Backup” time text on the backup tab. The changes made to restore broke this, and since the information was redundant, I saw no need to fix it.
• Restore List entries are now based off of file names (they were previously read from the zip file’s comment) to accomodate the new overwrite option. This will allow you to manually rename a file, and have it show up in the list with that name. Manual renaming could also be used to avoid the overwrite option entirely.
• Fixed a bug where if you renamed a backup archive, you would not be able to restore it.
• Replaced all visible ” – ” with “: “. This affects the display of asset names in the backup and restore tab, but everything works the same under the hood.

Public Release 1.0.0.0:

• Consolidated database standard update/silent update code.
• Added an additional check to update code that will tell you if you need to update SGB.net to use the new database (due to program redesign). You need this version to detect Steam with database 4.
• Added further error logging.
• Changed icon on the Backup button.

Public Beta 3:

• Exception when the Restore list attempts to load with no Save Path specified. I don’t know how this one got past me.
• Exception when closing SGB.net if reg keys have been deleted.
• Note text box will no longer display when it shouldn’t.
• Updated Restore list refresh code to match Backup’s restore list code.
• Added extra checks for Save Path.
• Added more error logging to help debug errors.

Public Beta 2:

• Restore feature rewritten. again. I discovered that under some circumstances, SGB.net could take over 10 seconds to start and cause excessive hard drive thrashing. Restore information is now embedded into the .sgbzip file (making it portable). rasset.db is no longer used. If you were experiencing lengthy startup times, they should now be fixed.

Public Beta 1:

• Database-driven: SaveGameBackup.net is completely database-driven. Because of this, all detection operations have seen a significant speed increase.
• Database updating: You have the ability to download new databases directly through the application. There is also an option to check for an update on program startup and apply the update automatically.
• Restore feature: You now have the ability to restore your save games directly through the program. No more SFX files.
• Speed: All zip operations have seen a massive speed increase.
• Custom game entries: You can add/edit/delete any custom entry you define. There are tooltips available if you are not sure what information a field is requesting.
