Pros & Cons
Pros
The project prioritizes minimal system overhead, ensuring efficient background operation without impacting gaming performance, as stated in its philosophy.
It supports timed backups to automate save file protection, preventing data loss through reliable scheduling, a key feature highlighted.
Handles saves spanning multiple files or folders, addressing complex game save structures that manual management struggles with.
Offers cloud backup via WebDAV, enabling sync with compatible services, though limited to this protocol as per the README.
Cons
Requires Microsoft WebView2, which isn't pre-installed on all Windows versions (e.g., Win7), adding installation complexity and potential user barriers.
Only supports WebDAV for cloud backups, meaning users must rely on services with WebDAV support, lacking direct integration with popular platforms.
While built with cross-platform Tauri, documentation heavily emphasizes Windows, with minimal guidance for macOS or Linux, limiting broader accessibility.
