A program that creates backups of your Dark Souls 3 save every 15 minutes by default. Can customize the back up time interval to be between 1 to 59 minutes.
Back ups are created in the following format (hours in 24HR military time format):
Month_Day_Year_Hour_Minute__DS30000.sl2.bak
Like so: 5_2_2016_10_03__DS30000.sl2.bak
To restore a backup, either use the "Restore a Save" feature or delete your DS30000.sl2 file and rename the backup of your choice to DS30000.sl2.
Please note that you will start the backup process by pressing the "Start" button. Then start up Dark Souls 3 and play.
When you are done playing, press the "Stop" button. The program will continue to try to create back ups until you close the program or press the "Stop" button. However, if Dark Souls 3 is not running, then no backup is made.
Important note: Do not delete or remove the DarkSouls3SaveGameBackupTool.exe.config file. This stores the time interval setting. It must be in the same folder as the DarkSouls3SaveGameBackupTool.exe file.
- Key to create a back up manually (think of like an F5 to "quick save" of sorts
- Keep a "MaxBackup" amount - like 10 - where older backups above 10 are automatically deleted.
