The record

Purpose: Game Save Genie automatically backs up and syncs PC game saves for games not protected by their launchers.
Game coverage: It uses the Ludusavi database to detect save locations for more than 19,000 games and supports manually tracked folders and files, including emulator saves.
Automatic backups: It backs up when a game closes and every 10 minutes while the game is running.
Cloud integrations: It supports Google Drive, OneDrive, S3 buckets, and other destinations supported by rclone.
Incremental uploads: Content-addressed storage and delta uploads mean unchanged save files are not uploaded again.
Cross-device sync: Users can pull newer saves onto another PC, with save paths remapped across Windows, Linux, and macOS usernames.
Restore safeguards: Before restoring, it verifies and stages downloads, takes a safety snapshot, and avoids restoring while the game is running.
Privacy: The project says it uses no accounts, servers of its own, or telemetry, and communicates with the configured remote and GitHub to download dependencies.
Self-hosting: Users can run a save server with Docker Compose and connect through an S3-compatible store; the project describes per-friend accounts as supported.
Platforms and maturity: Windows single-machine backups are described as stable; cross-machine sync and Linux/Steam Deck support are beta, and the README also describes macOS path remapping.
Limits: The documented default retention is 10 versions per game, and the default storage warning threshold is 5.0 GB.
Intended users: The project targets PC players using games outside Steam, Epic, or Xbox save sync, including manual installs and emulators.
License and support: Game Save Genie is MIT-licensed and directs users to file GitHub issues for problems and beta feedback.
