Readme

What does it do?

  • This tool backs up Astroneer saves while Astroneer is running.
  • When Astroneer closes, it stops watching for changes.
  • You can choose where and how long you want backups to be kept.
  • The Astroneer install is not changed in any way by this tool.
  • When saves are backed up, they're copied here by default: %userprofile%\Saved Games\AstroneerBackup

How do I use it?

  • Astroneer Backup is best run from the .EXE.
  • You can examine the code using the included .PS1.
  • It must be run as Administrator. It will try to ensure this.
  • To enable backup, type 1 and Enter at the Main Menu.
  • To disable backup, type 2 and Enter at the Main Menu.
  • To open the backup folder, type 3 and Enter at the Main Menu.
  • Backups are kept for 14 days by default. 10 backups are always kept.
  • Backup will only work if this appears in the Main Menu: Backup ENABLED: True

How does it work?

  • A backup folder and backup script are created.
  • A scheduled task is created that invokes the script.
  • The task is triggered when the Astroneer is launched.
  • The backup script copies save files when changed.
  • Backups older than the backup lifetime are deleted.
