additional resources you may find useful.\nPlease note that this is not an exhaustive list\nand that these projects are not officially affiliated with Ludusavi itself:\n\n* Secondary manifests:\n  * https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FBloodShed-Oni\u002Fludusavi-extra-manifests\n  * https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fhblamo\u002Fludusavi-emudeck-manifest\n  * https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fhvmzx\u002Fludusavi-manifests\n    * This has an example of using a scheduled GitHub workflow\n      to generate a manifest that adds more paths to the primary manifest's entries.\n* Plugins for Decky Loader on Steam Deck:\n  * https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FGedasFX\u002Fdecky-ludusavi\n* Plugins for VS Code:\n  *

other tools\nThere are other excellent backup tools available, but not a singular\ncross-platform and cross-store solution:\n\n* [GameSave Manager](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamesave-manager.com) (as of v3.1.512.0):\n  * Only supports Windows.\n  * Much slower than Ludusavi. On the same hardware and with default settings,\n    an initial scan of the whole system takes 2 minutes in GSM versus 10 seconds in Ludusavi.\n    Performing a backup immediately after that scan takes 4 minutes 16 seconds in GSM versus 4.5 seconds in Ludusavi.\n    In this test, GSM found 257 games with 2.84 GB, and Ludusavi found 297 games with 2.95 GiB.\n  * Closed source, so the community cannot contribute improvements.\n  * Interface can be slow or unresponsive.\n    For example, when clicking \"select all \u002F de-select all\", each checkbox has to individually toggle itself.\n    With 257 games, this means you end up having to wait around 42 seconds.\n  * Minimal command line interface.\n  * Can create symlinks for games and game data.\n    Ludusavi does not support this.\n* [Game Backup Monitor](https:\u002F\u002Fmikemaximus.github.io\u002Fgbm-web) (as of v1.2.2):\n  * Does not support Mac.\n  * Database only covers 577 games (as of 2022-11-16), although it can also import\n    the Ludusavi manifest starting in 1.3.1.\n  * No command line interface.\n  * Can automatically back up saves for a game after you play it.\n    Ludusavi can only do that in conjunction with a launcher like Playnite.\n* [Gaming Backup Multitool for Linux](https:\u002F\u002Fsupremesonicbrazil.gitlab.io\u002Fgbml-web) (as of v1.4.0.0):\n  * Only supports Linux and Steam.\n  * Database is not actively updated. As of 2022-11-16, the last update was 2018-06-05.\n  * No command line interface.\n\n## Development\nPlease refer to [CONTRIBUTING.md](.\u002FCONTRIBUTING.md).\n","Ludusavi 是一款用于备份PC游戏存档数据的工具，使用Rust语言编写。它支持超过19,000款游戏的数据备份及自定义条目添加，并兼容Steam、GOG、Epic等多个游戏平台。该工具提供图形界面与命令行两种操作方式，且支持Bash、Fish、Zsh、PowerShell等环境下的命令自动补全功能。Ludusavi能够处理文件形式存储的游戏存档以及Windows注册表中的相关数据，同时支持Steam Proton和Steam截图的备份。其跨平台特性使得用户可以在包括Steam Deck在内的多种设备上使用。对于希望保护个人游戏进度免受意外丢失影响的玩家来说，Ludusavi是一个非常实用的选择。",2,"2026-06-11 03:04:42","top_language"]
