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?
