GameSave Manager Backs Up and Restores Hundreds of Games

The good folks over at Lifehacker have shared a little gem of gaming greatness. It isn't any new digital distribution services or even a new game, but rather a backup utility called GameSave Manager that hunts down all your save game files hidden away on your hard drive and backs them up in a few simple clicks Hit up the read more link for my take on the program or just click here to cut to the chase.

I have personally been using a combination of Windows Live Sync and a dedicated server to keep all my game saves synced between my laptop and desktop. This has worked great and I will continue to use this method, however the biggest issue I had with this method was having to hunt down every game's save files which could be quite a chore. Now I have begun using GameSave Manager in combination with Live Sync to manage my save game files with much less frustration and far less time consumed. Since GameSave Manager hunts down all my save game files for me, all I have to do is sync the single folder where GameSave saves the backups across my server and I instantly have access to all saves regardless of what computer I'm using.

So far this has worked great for me and has minimized the amount of time it takes me to setup new games allowing me more time to actually play the games! Check it out for yourself even if you don't sync between multiple PCs, having all those saves backed up is quite a boon for the PC enthusiasts out there.
