What SaveKnight is
SaveKnight is a Windows app that backs up PC game save files to the cloud and keeps earlier versions available. It scans a PC and uses Ludusavi’s database to locate saves; the download page says the database covers more than 10,000 games. The app runs in the background and backs up saves when games exit, then synchronizes them across a user’s gaming PCs. The maker says saves are encrypted in cloud storage and can be accessed from any PC. Users can manually restore a previous version. SaveKnight is intended for PC games that store save files locally. The app is open source under the MIT License and is built with Tauri and Rust. It requires Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit, at least 4 GB RAM, 100 MB of free disk space, an internet connection for cloud sync, and a SaveKnight account. The Free plan allows 2 game profiles and 500 MB of cloud storage with unlimited version history. Knight costs $5 a month; Legend costs $15 a month.
