After too much time spent on google I finally found this lightweight GUI + CLI tool that finds locally installed games (yes including non-steam games running under proton) and thought I'd spread the gospel!

Combeined with something like dropbox/onedrive/nextcloud, or rsync/borg/syncthing etc you've got yourself cloud backups too.

Zero configuration involved so far on my Steam Deck which is nice as well.

Forgive me if it's old news ☺️

Does this work on Linux natively?

I use syncthing to backup files to a different device

It kinda is old news but something that's alright to bring up from time to time.

Best way to do this is to just find your save file location , and make your own backups..

You don't need some program to scan your system for you.

Doing this every few minutes is annoying af. Wanted a tool like this for ages.
