EZ Auto Backup is a save file backup managing tool and was originally made for Elden Ring with autohotkey.
It can create backups of the save file each time the game saves or with an intervall, which is very usefull for games with only 1 auto save file. Like in a souls game after you died, just return to the titlescreen and restore one of the last save backup, or you can manually create backups before a boss fight or your favorite cutscenes to restore them any time. This will also helps to prevent currupted save files which may happens, so you don't lose all your playing hours.
If you have any requests, suggestions, found some bugs or need any help, feel free to join the Discord.
You can also support me through Patreon, if you like my work.
The main mod page will now be in the NexusMods Modding Tools section.
You have to disable cloud save and exit the game first before restoring a backup.
Mods Manager
For Modders
-You can create a mod.ini with the following informations:
[info]
author=Name
version=x.x
info=Mod description
-Put the mod.ini with an optional .jpg or .png file in the archive to show up those informations in the Mods Manger.
-For best compatibility pack your mods with the following folder structure
For Users
-Open the "Mods Manager" under "Menubar > Profile > Mods Manager".
-Choose your "Mods source folder", where all the mods are stored.
-Choose a "Mods destination folder", where the mods should be installed (e.g. for Hogwarts Legacy the mods goes to Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods).
-The mods should be shown in the "Mods" tab.
-To install a mod you can either double click, or check the mods you want to install/uninstall and click on "Apply Changes".
-If a mod archive has subfolders, it wil be displayed as childrens in the treeview (like Test2).
-It's recommended to enter "Main mods subfolders", where you can enter every mod root folders.
-For "Hogwarts Legacy" it can be ~mods, for Dark Souls 3 it can be parts,chr and so on.
-This is to make sure the mods are installed in the correct folder. It won't matter if the mods are packed in a correct hirachy.
-You can right click for an additional menu.
-If the mod files are downloaded from NexusMods and weren't renamed, then it's possible to open the Nexus page from the menu.
-If the NexusMods page coulnd't be found, then you have to edit the "NexusMods game string for mods page" in the settings, to match the address of the Nexus page (at default Dark Souls 3 profiles will be named as darksoulsiii so it has be edited to darksouls3).
-It's highly recommended to set the "Game folder" to the root game folder if EZAB couldn't set it automatically.
-For example in "Hogwarts Legacy" EZAB may set the "Game folder" to ..\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64, because the .exe is also in there.
This needs to be changed to ..\Hogwarts Legacy

Notes
- Always return to the title screen first before you restore a backup!
- Quick backup will always overwrite the "Quickbackup" file in the backup folder, to create seperate backups use a custom hotkey for manual backup instead.
- This tool can only backup the last auto save in game and not creating individual save states, but in a souls game it's kinda possible, when you quit the game, then after reloading it creates a new autosave, from which you could manual backup, it's like having a custom "save state".
- For optimal use place ERAB on a second monitor to have an overview of the auto backups.
- You can use your own notification sounds by replacing the existing ones in the ERAB folder.
- Screenshots may be inaccurate, but it should help to manage your the backup files.
- When you see a status overlay in the middle of the screen then press ctrl+alt+s for repositioning. To disable it go to "Settings > EZAB Settings > Misc > Use EZAB status overlay"
Installation
- Unpack EZAB
- Start ERAB.exe, when launched for the first time, EZAB will ask you to create a new profile.
- Select a game from the list.
- Click "Create Profile" and choose the required save file and backup folders
- Enter a name for your profile to finish the profile creation process.
- Go to settings if you want to change the auto backup method or change some options. Auto backup every x min is the default method, you can also choose "Instant" where an backup is created directly after the game auto saves if the intervall is set to 0, otherwise it will only instantly save after the timer has expired.
- Start the game of your profile in order to use any auto or just use manual backup functions through hotkeys.
